Please do look at all the "hits" on this board. I'm able to pull up a lot of them too. I love glue basting. Remember it takes the place of pin basting meaning you really only need to put it where you would pin. No need to paint on every surface. I don't have any hand,wrist, tendon, carpal tunnel issues so I turn the bottle upside down and let gravity and a little pressure release a thin stream which I drizzle in sort of an irregular grid. Then I smooth the backing or top over it and smooth and let dry. I'm not usually in a hurry so can let it dry overnight. I do this on a small table starting in the middle and then working out. When dry it has never gummed up or broken a needle and for me has always washed out. I've done about 10 this way. Good luck and report back to us!!!
