2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a method called an ALC method has been implemented in which a lightweight wall plate material such as ALC is vertically and horizontally aligned on an outer surface of a building to form an outer wall surface of the building. When the wall plate material is rectangular, joints generated between adjacent wall plate materials are continuous in a straight line and intersect vertically and horizontally. By filling and sealing the joint with a sealant, the joint from the joint to the wall surface is formed. Prevents rainwater from entering.

In order to carry out this joint sealing method, first, the inside of the joint and its opening edge are dried and cleaned, and a masking tape is applied along the opening edge of the joint. Next, after setting the tube loaded with the kneaded sealing material in the caulking gun, operate the caulking gun to extrude the sealing material in the tube, fill the joint, and use the spatula to remove the sealing material in the joint. After smoothing, remove the masking tape.

However, in such a method, the sealing operation takes time and labor, requires not only skill, but also when the wall plate members are not arranged neatly in the vertical and horizontal directions, the gap between the wall plate members. Since the resulting joints are displaced from each other, the trace of filling of the sealing material does not become a straight line, and the appearance of the outer wall surface is significantly impaired. Moreover, the sealing material gradually deteriorates and cracks, and there is a possibility that rainwater may enter the wall surface from the cracks.
