simultaneously or subsequently bringing the two ends into mutual contact so that the two ends are connected in a firmly bonded manner at the joint by the heated bonding agent, wherein the step of applying the bonding agent includes applying the bonding agent via a subcarrier onto the at least one end by contacting the at least one end to the subcarrier, wherein the subcarrier is a rigid plate, wherein the step of applying the bonding agent further includes moving the subcarrier into a gap between the two ends spaced apart from one another, positioning the shapeless bonding agent with respect to the at least one end, pushing the at least one end against the shapeless bonding agent on the subcarrier, transferring the shapeless bonding agent to the at least one end and removing the subcarrier from the gap between the two ends.
