A method for farming a semi-enclosed applicator for distributing a substance onto a target surface, wherein said applicator is to have a first side, a second side, and an externally accessible internal cavity between said first and second sides, a first fluid-containing flexible film reservoir, and a dispensing aperture associated with said flexible film reservoir and trough which said fluid is selectively distributed to one of said first and second sides, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing a first web corresponding to one of the first and second sides;
- providing a second web corresponding to the other of said first and second sides;
- placing a first fluid-containing reservoir in a predetermined location in relation to said first and second webs;
- securing the reservoir relative to the webs and attaching the first and second webs to one another in such a way as to form an externally accessible internal cavity there between;
- and
- cutting the applicator in a desired outline shape from the balance of the respective webs to define the finished applicator.
