Claim:
An applicator, comprising a vessel, an elongated applicator tip, a sponge and a crenellated ring surrounding the sponge, each extending outwardly from a side of an end of said applicator tip, the crenellated ring having a plurality of elastomeric formations, each spaced from each other in succession by respective gaps, each elastomeric formation having a distal surface with at least one recessed area, the vessel containing contents and a mechanism that enables the contents to be urged out of the vessel through an opening in the vessel under manual pressure, the applicator tip being in fluid communication with the opening to receive the contents urged out from the vessel, the applicator tip being hollow to allow the contents to pass through the applicator tip to dispense through a distal opening of the applicator tip to reach the sponge, the distal opening being spaced away from the vessel, the sponge being treated with a reactive ingredient that reacts upon contact with the dispensed contents that reach the sponge.
