A sealant smoothing tool 200 for smoothing sealant in a gap between two aircraft parts, the tool comprising a main body 201 comprising a base surface 203 for abutting against and sliding along a top surface of the aircraft parts, a spatula holder for holding a spatula 210, the holder configured to movably mount the spatula relative to the main body. A resilient biasing member 207 provides a biasing force against the spatula or the spatula holder, such that the spatula is urged towards the sealant to supply a smoothing force to the sealant. Advantageously, the quality of the smoothing of sealant may be independent of the sealing tool operation, resulting in the sealant being applied correctly the first time, and reducing the likelihood of the need to re-apply sealant. The resilient member may comprise a spring. The spatula holder, resilient biasing member and main body may be integrally formed.
