An assembly comprising a base and a plurality of devices for applying a mastic sealant to a protruding element on a surface, the assembly comprising a plurality of devices and a substantially planar base,wherein each device i) is detachable from the base, ii) comprises a capsule that can completely cover the protruding element and iii) contains a predetermined amount of the mastic sealant in a frozen state,wherein the capsule and the base form a one-piece structure and are made of the same crosslinked elastomer material,wherein the base is molded in the form of a sheet and the capsules protrude from one surface of the sheet,wherein each capsule is attached to the sheet by a weakened and separable region which surrounds the capsule, wherein the region comprises a reduced thickness of the sheet and cuts, and wherein the capsule is attached to the sheet only by bridges of material, which are capable of being broken by pressing manually or using a suitable tool,and wherein the weakened and separable region which surrounds the capsule is surrounded by a circular reinforcing rib which prevents premature tearing of the weakened and separable regions during demolding.
