Practice on scrap to determine how much pressure to apply glue so that it is quick to release.
why would one want all that glue residue on the fabric? Sorry but pinning it is not big deal and the pins stay where you put them. If one is gluing 6/8layers of fabric, it would seem to me that that glue could not hold all securely as one is stripping, cutting triangles out of those layers. But, if you've done it that way and it worked for you, fine...but I've used and will continue to use pins when doing that pattern...JMHOJMHO
