An electrode mixture paste application method includes: a first step of unwinding a core material (2) wound in a coil shape; a second step of immersing the core material in an electrode mixture paste (5); a third step of adjusting an application amount of the electrode mixture paste; a fourth step of drying a paste-coated sheet (6) with the electrode mixture paste applied to the both sides thereof; and a fifth step of winding the paste-coated sheet in a coil shape, wherein a seam welding step for connecting coils of the core material to each other is provided between the first and second steps, wherein a metal containing molybdenum and/or tungsten is used as a welding electrode (91) in the seam welding step, and wherein a mechanism for air cooling by gas is provided. This can achieve a stable method for applying an electrode mixture paste in which apprehensions for micro short circuits and the like are eliminated and troubles in the step of welding core materials can be avoided.
