Apparatus for the in situ formation of and application to electrical insulator parts, of gaskets and pads, preferably of mica fibers, which gaskets and pads are interposed between the interfaces of the parts in their final assembled and rigidly interconnected relation. A rotor turnable about a fixed vertical axis has arms which are automatically and sequentially indexed to a plurality of fixed work stations. Each alternate one of the arms supports a first part, while each of the remaining arms supports a second part which is to be assembled with a first part. At one station means apply a coating of adhesive to the area of the part over which a gasket or pad is to be formed. At a second and subsequent station, flocking is applied to the adhesive-coated area, and at a third station excess flocking adhering to areas not coated with adhesive, is removed and collected for reuse. The flocking may be applied electrostatically to form in situ, a gasket wherein the fibers are parallel and upstanding like the bristles of a brush.
