from advancing the plug 12 towards the dispensing end 18 but has sufficient strength and structural integrity as to not be deflected laterally from the interior surface 40 by food sauce pressing thereagainst when the plunger 30 is advanced and the pressure within the containment region 22 is increased the adhesive 54 is preferably applied as a continuous bead around the circumferential edge 52 and may be applied sparingly directly into the gap 56 as well so long as the adhesive properly cures before running into the containment region 22 or has sufficient viscosity as to only travel a certain distance into the gap 56 short of region 22 after the adhesive 54 has properly cured the cartridge dispenser 10 is ready for use in conjunction with a dispensing gun 26 preferably the end disk 16 is secured to the cartridge body 14 before the plug 12 is bonded with the body the end disk may be secured to the body 14 using known top crimping methods or other methods known by those of skill in the art an alternative method of cartridge dispenser 10 assembly involves reversing the steps of plug 12 insertion and adhesive 54 application thus the adhesive 54 e g a food grade hot melt adhesive may first be applied to the circumferential edge 52 of the plug 12 and then the plug 12 is quickly placed within the cartridge body 14 near the dispensing end 18 of the dispenser 10 the plug 12 should be aligned generally in a plane transverse to the central longitudinal axis of.
