The invention proves an applicator useable for applying a material such as liquid and semi-liquid cleaners, disinfectants, waxes, woods stains, varnishes and epoxy and urethane finishes to a surface. The applicator includes an elongated tubular member (18; 118; 218) having an outer surface, opposite ends (13, 16; 119, 121) and a linear slot (19; 112; 212) extended longitudinally from one end of the tubular member (18; 118; 218). A sleeve (24; 122; 221) is mounted on the outer surface of the tubular member (18; 118; 218) and has opposite ends (26, 27) adjacent the opposite ends (13, 16; 119, 121) of the tubular member (18; 118; 218). At least one of the opposite ends (26, 27) of the sleeve (24; 122; 221) has a lip (14, 17; 116; 117; 216, 217) below and transversely aligned with the slot (19; 112; 212) in the tubular member (18; 118; 218) and which tapers upwardly and inwardly toward the slot (19; 112; 212) in the tubular member (18; 118; 218).
