Zusammenfassung:	Systems (500), methods (600, 700), and tools (200) are disclosed for shaping sealant (102) applied to a fastener (106, 108). The tools disclosed herein include a housing (202) that includes a first end, a second end, and a chamber (203), the first end including a first opening (220) defining a first portion of the chamber, the second end being configured to be coupled to a robotic sealant applicator, the housing further including a second opening (211) configured to transfer a solvent from an external reservoir (221) to the chamber. The tools may also include a porous member (205) included in the chamber, the porous member being configured to store an amount of solvent, the porous member being further configured to apply a designated shape to the sealant applied to the fastener in response to the sealant contacting the porous member, and the porous member being further configured release at least a portion of the solvent in response to the sealant contacting the porous member.
