Enables the uniform, accurate application, onto microscale areas, of an in-solution oil repellent of low viscousness and in which the solvent is of extremely high volatility. A contacting piece that comes into contact with a target for application of the repellent is encased inside a sheath structure that, including the contacting piece, is lent rigidity. Therein, while the in-solution oil repellent is fed along the inside of the sheath structure, along the contacting piece itself, and onto the repellent-application target, it is coated on by the contacting piece tracing the surface of the application target. Giving at least the application start-point two coats, or a number of applications greater than that, yields a coating film of still higher uniformity.
