A clean, sterile fingertip mist of simulated saliva of appropriate droplet size and quantity is provided to allow consumers to easily moisten their fingertips to open produce bags, to count money, separate papers and for other applications where moist fingertips are useful. The simulated saliva provided substitutes for natural saliva to avoid spread of germs such as virus, bacterium, bacillus and other microbes and microorganisms, and other undesirables found in natural human saliva. A misting apparatus is provided, being tailored for delivery of a fine range, having distributed, but limited, quantity of droplets of sterile simulated saliva. This invention avoids consumers passing germs by using their own germ laden saliva to moisten fingertips then open produce bags, county money, separate papers and the like. In one embodiment, a method of layer separation by use specific sterile simulated saliva and mist dispenser therefor are provided in lieu of actions such as (i) licking fingertips, (ii) applying oily lotions or thick globs of hand sanitizer (iii) wearing gloves or (iv) intense, repetitive rubbing for friction separation.

A glue sponge system including a glue sponge assembly with a glue-container, a sponge having a body including a plurality of holes, and a plurality of channels, and at least one glue. The glue sponge assembly is useful for controllably applying glue to surfaces and storing the glue for later use.

A wearable finger-moistening device to help open plastic produce bags in the supermarket. At least one opening in a waterproof front panel or a sponge expansion barrier exposes a wettable antimicrobial sponge. The sponge can retain moisture for 4-8 hours. The device is used by touching one's fingers to the moistened sponge, and then using one's moistened fingers to easily open a plastic produce bag. A clasp allows the user to attach the device using only one hand onto a belt loop, a zipper pull, or a purse strap, for example. The at least one opening in the front panel or in a sponge expansion barrier can be shaped to enhance the appearance of the device.

A moisture pad includes a porous pad, for example a sponge; a water bladder or reservoir; and a container for securely supporting the porous pad and the reservoir. Optionally, a lid may be provided as a closure for the container to reduce evaporation of the water. As another option, a strap can be provided for the container to allow the moisture pad to be worn on a person's body.
