I try not to, but sometimes that's the only option. I use a small artist brush. It takes a little time and patience but it's doable. Some people just cant afford to have the piano restrung to make the proper repair. I usually end up getting to do the proper job later down the road.

I apply it with a small brush to the entire notched area and make sure it gets down into the cracks. It penetrates deep into the bridge and fortifies it from further damage.
