A sealant applicator 1 for applying sealant to a surface of one or more aircraft parts. The sealant applicator comprises a sealant inlet 2, a sealant outlet 3 and a main body 4. The main body comprises one or more sealant-contacting surfaces 5A, 5B, 5C for contacting dispensed sealant and one or more spacers 6B for abutting against a surface of the aircraft part(s) to maintain the sealant-contacting surface(s) spaced from the surface of the aircraft part(s). The inlet and outlet may be provided on a nozzle portion 11. The man body may form a sled with a plurality of sealant-contacting surfaces forming baffles and two spacers forming a pair of runners each comprising a flat base. A method of applying sealant to a surface of one or more aircraft parts comprises depositing sealant onto the surface of the aircraft part(s), contacting a sealant-contacting surface with the deposited sealant to form a strip of sealant on the surface of the aircraft part(s), the sealant-contacting surface being raised relative to the surface of the aircraft part(s) such that there is a gap between the sealant-contacting surface and the surface of the aircraft part(s).
