Does anybody have a recommendation on how to use touch up paint without adding more paint than needed? Everytime I have used it in the past it has not been satisfactory. I recently heard using a tooth pick to apply the paint may help.
TIA

impossible to use with any level of accuracy. some would say to buy a fine painters brush at the art supply store. pour out a couple of drops of paint onto some smooth thing. then dip the painters brush into the puddle and then apply. more control with the long handle and finer tipped brush. if you know what you are comfortable with, you can buy a broader brush and use a blade to cut it into a shape that works for you.

I am new and didn't have access to the world of already stated responses... my apologies.

if you just use the tip and twist the brush like rolling a pencil between the thumb and index fingert tip, you have great control rotating that way versus any back and forth or side to side movement.
