1. A viscous material deposition nozzle that comprises:
a first lift positioned on a first side and a second lift positioned on a second side of the viscous material deposition nozzle, wherein each lift comprises, respectively, a contact surface separated from each other by more than 1.75 inches;
an application surface positioned between and connected to the lifts and comprising a leading face a first distance from the contact surfaces and a trailing face a second distance from the contact surfaces, the second distance less than the first distance; and
a channel that opens into one distribution cavity that comprises a V-shape and a plurality of outlets that extend through the application surface between the first lift and the second lift, wherein a respective length of each outlet decreases as a distance of each outlet from the channel increases, wherein the plurality of outlets is positioned at an intersection of the leading face and the trailing face.
