ABSTRACT:
A system allows for accurate manual application of a fluid material in a linear pattern to a surface from a container holding the fluid. The system may comprise a container holding a fluid, the container having an application end from which fluid is applied to the surface at a volume flow rate that provides a volume/linear distance of the linear pattern. There is a controllable pressure system that causes pressure in the container, wherein application of higher pressure causes increased flow of fluid from the container and reduction of pressure causes reduced flow of fluid from the container. Also present is a speed indicator that provides a signal of the relative speed between the application end and the surface. A microprocessor reads the signal and determines if the controllable pressure is at a predetermined target level with respect to the relative speed, the microprocessor adjusting the controllable pressure system to attempt to maintain a standard volume of liquid per linear distance of the linear pattern.
