You can use any small sharp object to apply the paint. I used a jeweller's screw driver, the really really tiny kind. I'm thinking a pin would work just as well. I taped the other 3 bridges while working on one, so as not to get any paint on the other 3.
As for removal, any alcohol based spirits should work, ie paint thinner, lighter fluid or isoprophyl alcohol.

umm..use a toothpick, works the best! trust me, the pin dries too fast, anything w/metal dries to fast for you to use it right.

I used nail polish remover(acetone) to clean up the loctite stuff.

I don't know if alcohol or petroleum based solvents would work....

Pin dried too quickly for me. I used a toothpick, or should I say toothpicks. Use a different toothpick for each bridge. If you try to reuse the toothpick the loctite stuff runs off too quickly the second time and leaves a puddle that covers several bridges...
