Abstract: A container having a brush tuft mounted thereon is described. The tuft is formed by picking with the working end of said tuft received within a cylindrical picker, and the non-working end being fused. The container can be any type of container from an aerosol can to a squeeze tube, and the container has an outlet opening for dispensing the contents of the container through said outlet. The tuft is then mounted on the outlet so that any contents of said container will be dispensed into the bristles of said tuft. The tuft is formed of cut-to-length synthetic filament and the container typically has a nozzle at said outlet end. The tuft can be mounted within the nozzle or surrounding the nozzle, and the tuft can be a solid tuft or a hollow tuft.
