Window film (e.g., solar film) is edge-sealed by moving a porous applicator tip saturated with liquid sealant in wiping contact along an edge of the window film to be sealed so as to transfer a portion of the liquid sealant from the saturated applicator tip to the window film edge. Thereafter, the liquid sealant is allowed to dry so that a residue of the sealant (e.g., most preferably a solvated plastics material) remains as a transparent layer sealing the space between the window film edge and the adjacent window glass frame. Most preferably, a kit is provided which includes a pen-like applicator and a container which contains a quantity of liquid sealant. The applicator is provided with the porous applicator tip at one end in fluid communication with a barrel defining an interior reservoir space. The reservoir space may thus be filled with a quantity of liquid sealant which is brought into fluid communication with the reservoir space so as to allow the liquid sealant to flow into the applicator tip and thereby saturate the same.
