When the foam on your applicator finally gives out, you replace the pad instead of the whole tool. It attaches with hook and loop backing, so the swap takes seconds: peel the worn pad off the swivel head, line the new one up, and press it on. The foam is rated for both solvent and water-based dressings, so it holds up to solvent gloss products that break down cheaper applicator foams.
