Abstract
A device for application and manipulation of paint on a substrate includes a handle having a distal end and a proximal end, and a working tip attached to the distal end of the handle. The working tip is a flexible, non-porous extruded material having a distal working edge which is formed by an extrusion process, with the working edge being parallel to a longitudinal orientation of the extrusion process. In one embodiment, one of the working tip and the handle includes a rib along an end which interfaces the other and the other of the working tip and the handle includes a corresponding slot in an end which interfaces the one for mating with the rib. Preferably, the working tip is made of silicone.
