A roadway marker or other article has a narrow slot through which a tab associated with a static mixing container is passed. Before placing the marker, the mixing container is drawn manually through the slot toward one side, thereby bursting internal seals or walls in the mixing container that separate two or more adhesive components, forcing the components to flow and mix, and finally to discharge the mixed adhesive onto the opposite surface of the marker in the correct mix proportions and quantity needed to attach the marker in place. The mixing container is flexibly collapsible and when initially containing the components has a larger cross section than the slot. A pull tab extends from the container for pulling the container though the slot or passageway. The container is structured such that the components are forced to mix and flow out of the compartments through the compartment outlets upon pulling the container by the pull tab through the passageway, which is dimensioned to constrict the container and may contain one or more rollers bearing on the container. The mixing portion has walls and/or passages and openings for mixing the components as they are forced toward a container outlet, for example dividing and recombining the stream. Upon pulling the container through the opening the components are mixed together along the flowpath and then forced to flow out of the container to be discharged onto the surface of the marker or the like adjacent to the slot passageway.
