A method and apparatus for applying sealant. The apparatus may comprise a shaping portion, a centering portion, and a support system. The shaping portion may have a cavity configured to receive a fastener system and receive a sealant. The centering portion may have a channel configured to position the shaping portion in a desired position around the fastener system when the fastener system is received in the cavity. The support system may be configured to maintain the desired position of the apparatus.

A paint applicator, kit and methodology for using the same is disclosed. For example, a paint applicator that allows a user to load a desired amount of paint, such as a water based or other low VOC paint, into the paint applicator and an advancement mechanism that dispenses paint at a rate controllable by the user is disclosed. The advancement mechanism can include a system that translates a rotational force applied to an end cap of the applicator into a linear force that advances a piston which in turn applies paint to an applicator portion. The paint applicator may be reusable or may include a ratchet system that allows for only one time use. The methodology and kit can incorporate a syringe for loading paint into the paint applicator, thus reducing the loss of paint through spilling.

A drill spindle accessory is disclosed. The drill spindle accessory includes a fixed plate, a drive shaft, a pivot plate, and a working shaft. The drive shaft is mounted to the fixed plate. The drive shaft has a longitudinal axis that extends through a center of the fixed plate. The drive shaft is configured to be rotated by a drill motor. The pivot plate is pivotally coupled to the fixed plate at a pivot point offset from the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft. The working shaft is mounted to the pivot plate. The working shaft has a longitudinal axis that extends through a center of the pivot plate.

A dispensing system includes a container containing a flowable base formulation to be dispensed, an additive mixing device, and an actuable pump engine which draws the flowable base formulation from the container and pumps it through the mixing device. The additive mixing device includes a body with an internal cavity, an additive ingredient within the cavity, and a flow path/mixing chamber between an input and an output. With each pump of the device the additive ingredient is introduced into, and mixed with, a flow of the base formulation traveling through the mixing device. Multiple additive mixing devices may be interchangeable for different formulations, and the mixing devices may be refillable.

An airless pump container equipped with an impregnated member and an absorbing member includes: a container main body (10); a pushing plate (20); an impregnated member (30) installed inside of the container main body (10); a shielding member (40); a pump holder (60) coupled to the upper portion of the shielding member (40); an airless pump (50) installed on the inside of the shielding member (40) and the pump holder (60); an absorbing member holder (70) coupled to the upper end of the airless pump (50); an absorbing member (90); and a moving member (100) for fixing the absorbing member (90). The impregnated member is impregnated with content in a gel-state.

Pen-type hazardous material applicators are provided useful in applying metal pretreatment material to intricate geometries, such as blind holes, through holes, rivets, crevices, chamfers, counterbores, countersinks and other difficult to access surfaces are provided.

An artist's container having a bottom wall and a peripheral wall of non-uniform height surrounding the bottom wall. The peripheral wall defines a footprint of the container when viewed from the top. The container includes one or more interior walls positioned within the footprint of the container to divide the interior into a plurality of storage compartments. The container also includes a plurality of support posts. The plurality of support posts extend to varied heights above the bottom wall such that an imaginary support plane is collectively defined by the tops of the plurality of support posts. The support plane is inclined relative to the bottom wall and is configured to support an artist's palette near the edges of the palette.
