klgls,
Yes, I paint the whole area, but in sections. First I lay down the batting and then the top, matching centers. I pull the top back so half of the batting is exposed. I paint a swath of the glue and then smooth the top over the batting where the glue is. I then continue until that half is done. Turn it around and do the other half. (I work on my cutting table so I have to turn it around to do the other half.) Then I let it sit for a couple of hours before doing the same thing with the backing. I'm not sure you have to wait, but I like the idea of giving it some time to start drying. I let it dry completely before quilting. All that being said, if I'm not going to wash the quilt when it's done, then I pin baste. Hope this helps.
