Summary:The present invention relates to an applicator kit, as well as to a method of applying a substance for dental purposes. The applicator kit includes an application element having a grip area and a working end. An application member is disposed at the working end and is provided with at least one reaction substance, especially with at least one catalyst. An applicator kit, for dental purposes. has an application element with a grip area for handling, and also has a shaft, on a tip of which is disposed an application member, preferably in the form of a micro-brush that is provided with a reaction substance. A cup shaped sealing mechanism surrounds the shaft and the application member. The cup shaped sealing mechanism is slidably received within a housing which also receives a low velocity fluid initially spaced away from the cup-shaped sealing mechanism. The reaction substance on the application member is activated by pressing the sealing mechanism and application member into the fluid within the housing which causes the fluid to wet the application member.
