I dilute at least by half. It comes out easier that way.
I have used my queen bed to do this. Lay it all out and find the middle of back, batt, and top. Put a few big safety pins on that line. I lift the top layer so that about one quarter of the batt is showing and very quickly swish thin lines of glue on. (I've put it on the batt, and I've put it on the fabric. Both worked.) I run my finger over all the glue lines. Then I smooth that top layer down onto the glued portion (or the glued portion onto the batt). I have my iron plugged in near the bed, and press wherever I think there is glue. Move the sandwich to the next section and do that part. That's where the pins are needed. Spread it out again, lift that section and glue, finger spread, smooth that section down and iron. When all four sections of that layer are finished and ironed dry, turn the whole thing over and do the other side the same way. I can get a queen size quilt done in about an hour.
The last one I did in church on four of their big banquet table. That worked, too.
