I keep a handful of wood coffee stirrer sticks for just such an occasion. I'll squeeze a bit of grease onto the end of the stick, spread on whatever needs a dab, like a fastener or BB spindle.
When done, I'll use a set of wire cutters and cut off the dirty end of the stick and place the unused stick back into the pile of stirrers.

Personally, I prefer to use my finger for better control to apply grease. If I was worried about having to wipe my finger off, I'd use latex gloves. Now anti-seize--what a mess that stuff is!

Phil's is like the consistency of toothpaste. Maybe why it comes in a tube? But I digress.
I think that can is for oil. I'd probably use something like this:
Mini Grease Gun

On a slight tangent, I always find myself needing just a little dab of grease here and there. It's annoying to have to use my finger- because now my finger is dirty and I have to stop and wipe my finger before I continue working on the bike. Is Phil's grease light enough to use in a hand pump oil can? the kind that looks like this:
Anyone has any other solution for applying little dabs of grease without dirtying your hand?

These brushes are invaluable. Some vendors identify them as acid brushes. A mod I do to minimize cleanup is cutting the bristles diagonally to present a tight bristle on one side ranging up to loose bristle.
