I'm not sure about the backing but that would be blamed on my technique. So far I am quilting through the glue with no issues.
The few times I glue basted the quilt top/batting/back together....it never occured to me to just let it dry naturally. I think it would make that process go smoother. I will have to try it. With these seams, I did use the iron because I did not want to wait around for it to dry. But, I think it would work fabulous to sit in front of the tv and glue baste your seams to prepare for the following day.
