    I bought a stick of touch up paint from Chipmenders thinking it would be easier to apply and it is, but just a little. I still have a bubble where it is applied and am wondering how to smooth these over. How is it best done?

    I was told by a "pro" that using a toothpick to apply the paint makes the bubble less likely. That happens when too much paint is applied. It was easier to place the right amount using this technique.

    Personally, I use one of my daughter's very soft makeup brushes with the end trimmed into a point.
