Ok, I admit that I am less than mechanically inclined. How the frog does one use different tips on the Solarez bottle? So far I have been able to use only the brush.

I shake the bottle to get some on the cap, then use a bodkin to apply. Tips and brushes are too big.

Which version of Solarez do you have? Is it in a glass or plastic bottle? is the question how to change the tips, or how to get the resin to flow out? They seem to be using a myriad of packaging these days depending on the quantity and version of resin.
If it is a plastic bottle intended to use interchangeable tips, your bottle should have come with a cap that mates with the various tips. The tips screw into the connection on the base portion of the cap. The plastic Solarez bottles I have use Luer lock tips. This is a standardized connection used in medical and laboratory environments. Many other tips sizes and styles can be purchased inexpensively. Just look for 'Luer lock" tips. Once a tip is installed, you should be able to just squeeze the resin out. If it is a thicker version of the resin, it may take some shaking or tapping to get the resin into the top of the bottle and begin flowing from the tip. If that doesn't work, check the tip for clogs.
The only Solarez I have with a brush is the thin Bone Dry version (glass bottle) and it did not come with any caps or tips except for the nail-polish-style brush cap. I'm not aware of any other cap or tip that can be used with these glass bottles and I'm not sure it would be useful as bottle cannot be squeezed to control the flow anyhow.
