Just apply with a brush or a q-tip (wattenstaafje).

Don't keep the bottle open to long, this stuff dries very quickly.

It may be better to use thin strips of masking tape to edge the cockpit framing, then use Maskol to fill in the remainder. You probably wouldn't get a sharp edge with Maskol alone.

I tried this stuff a very very long time ago and just couldn't get on with it. What do you use to clean brushes after using it?
