Index finger, which then get wiped on seat of pants and eventually applied to best couch/chair seat, resulting in divorce. I also use scraps of wood. Lately this has been a bunch 1/2"-wide strips of 1/8 baltic birch ply, 6 or 7 inches long.

Damm, I came here looking for great insight and inspiration. Seriously, thanks for all the comments, seems like I'm doing exactly what you are are. Thanks again.

I picked this tip up from Rob Cosman's video on making hand cut dovetails: he uses a flexible artist's knife for applying white glue. The knives are very cheap and in this situation at least are far better than acid brushes which I buy in quantity whenever the woodworking show arrives in town.
they're called palette knives. you can buy them in different shapes and lengths.
Try cutting the bristles to half-length before use. I like them a lot better after cutting them.

Horse hair or plastic bristled? I prefer the horse hair. Snip some short for tight spots where you want a precision dab. Paint can caps work well as containers for refilling the brush.
You hang with the wrong wimmenz, Lew.
