I drizzle it (directly from the bottle) sparingly on the BATTING as in picture A. Then I put either the quilt top or back on the batting and smoooooth it out with my hands (n larger projects, I do this in sections). Because I am impatient, I use a hot, DRY iron to further smooth out the back or quilt top and quickly dry the glue. Once one side of the quilt is completely glued and dry, I flip it over and repeat the process on the other side. I usually use a few safety pins around the edges of the quilt to be sure the layers don't separate during quilting--but I suspect that is just me being over-cautious. Hope this helps.
