| 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.

I claim:
1. A device for application and manipulation of paint on a substrate, comprising:
- a handle having a distal end, a proximal end with a longitudinal axis defined therebetween, the distal end including structure defining a cavity therein; and
- a working tip inserted into the cavity and attached to the distal end of the handle, the working tip being a flexible, non-porous material having a distal working edge which is oriented generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and includes at least a first and a second peripheral edge curve formed thereon wherein the first curve is a peripheral cutting edge having a radius between 0.005 inches and 0.0175 inches and the second curve is a peripheral smoothing edge having a radius greater than 0.0175 inches.
