Sharon Schamber's technique is awesome! I attended her workshop when she came to our guild. Use Elmer's school glue sticks because that glue washes out when you're done. She uses glue sticks for everything! I was amazed. It works great and now it's a favorite technique of mine. By the way, the point of using the tiny metal tip on the glue bottle is so you just use a tiny amount of glue. Very little glue is needed, so however you get the that end result, go for it!
