Eddie, Thanks for the splendid idea!
I sometimes use a small diameter length of plastic tubing or a small
diameter soda straw as a pipette to put a few drops where I want them.
Harbor Freight used to sell (and may still) DIY metal reusable aerosol
bottles made of metal. They have a Schrader valve to pressurize them
from shop air or bicycle pump and are pretty solvent proof.

Julio, Don't forget the caveat about not breathing a lot of acetone
fumes. Harbor Freight and other outlets sell "acid" brushes, small
metal handled brushes used with acid flux in plumbing soldering. These
are good as applicators. An eye dropper or spoon or whatever depending
on the specific circumstances can be used. Mix in ATF with the half a
can of acetone you have in the previously mentioned glass jar and use
the jar to soak small parts if need be.
There are plastics that are impervious to acetone and ATF but in general
I avoid long term contact between acetone and plastics because it is
difficult to be sure exactly what plastic something is made of. The sure
fire way to find out which plastic will work is to put acetone in the
container, seal it up tightly waiting for a good long time to see what
happens.
Those acid brushes are good for applying No-Alox or thread dope and
other messy stuff.
In a similar vein, I use a glass hot sauce bottle. The plastic reducer
on this one does not soften, and controls the drops.
If needed the plastic dripper can be removed and an acid brush dips in
fine.
