Abstract: An applicator for applying fibers to a surface is described herein. The applicator includes a body having a first end and a second end. The first end has a first opening configured to couple to a container housing the fibers and to receive the fibers from the container. The second end has a second opening for dispensing the fibers from the body. The applicator also includes an air flow generating member for creating an air current for propelling the fibers through the second opening as the fibres pass along a pathway between the first opening and the second opening. The fibers are directed along the pathway from the first opening towards the second opening and into the air current by gravity.
