Apparatus and methods for use in applying a fluid to a surface

A fluid application system, comprising:

• a pair of fluid applicators including a first fluid applicator and a second fluid applicator, each of said fluid applicators comprising:
• a base plate;
• a fluid delivery conduit coupled to said base plate;
• and
• a housing slidably coupled to said base plate between a first position and a second position and comprising a plurality of fluid permeable pads, wherein said housing is selectively moveable to prevent fluid flow between said fluid delivery conduit and said plurality of fluid permeable pads in the first position and to couple said plurality of fluid permeable pads in fluid communication with said fluid delivery conduit in the second position;
• and
• a rail system comprising a guide rail, wherein said first fluid applicator and said second fluid applicator are slidably coupled to said guide rail such that said first fluid applicator and said second fluid applicator are movable relative to each other to adjustably vary a distance therebetween to correspond to a thickness of a workpiece configured to be received between said first fluid applicator and said second fluid applicator.
