An applicator having a plurality of different size fibers capable of retaining a large quantity of liquid material. An applicator having a handle portion and an applicating end portion in which different size fiber material is adhered to the applicating end portion. At least two different size fibers are used, with one being longer than the other. The at least two different lengths of fibers used range from 0.04 inches to 0.100 inches with a denier ranging from three to twenty-five. The use of a plurality of different sized fibers results in an improved applicator having increased liquid retaining properties. The present invention is particularly applicable to medical or dental procedures used in applying a liquid material. The present invention is particularly well suited in a dental procedure for applying a relatively large quantity of self-etching bonding liquid to a prepared cavity in a tooth.
