Yea, I am aware of that.
I don't need to use much at once (literally only 5-6 drops probably) and
I won't need it often.


As others have mentioned, pipettes are easy to make from glass or
plastic tubing. However, they also are inexpensive on ebay:

Item number: 170747397034

The above are polyethylene, which is ok in toluene at room temperature
but gets more soluble as temperature rises above 60C (140F). A lot of
glass pipettes are available on ebay also. They cost several times
more (eg 10 cents to a dollar each instead of 3 cents to 10 cents)
