Abstract
The applicator-container (10) has an interior (14) within which a flowable paste material such as a caulking compound, a sealing compound, putty or the like may be contained. A threaded cap (34) is used to selectively open or close container mouth (16). One end of applicator-container (10) is tapered to provide a smooth applicator blade surface (28) which terminates in a straight edge (30). Applicator blade surface (28) and straight edge 30 simulate the configuration of a conventional putty knife and may be used to shape and smooth a flowable paste material dispensed from the applicator-container (10).
