This is how I do anti seize, I start with just a dab on the part, which then miraculously gets on my fingers. I then wipe that off with a paper towel, successfully migrating the anti seize to both hands. I then manage to get it on my cheek, nose or ears depending on which glasses I am wearing. This ultimately results with it all over the front of my shirt. Somehow my shop dog Hemi, then ends up with a dab on her coat which she can get into the house with. This is typically followed by a shriek of get your (insert adjective) dog out of my house followed by, “and neither one of you better set foot in here till you are cleaned up” Anyway, this is just how I do it, I am sure others do it differently.
