Default ??? about Glue Basting a quilt

I would like to try and glue baste a smallish (38X58 inches) quilt. I've read a lot of info and looked at several tutorials but I still have specific questions.

1. When people refer to ironing the glue to dry - is this done is sections or can the whole quilt be basted and then ironed. My table for basting is not in the same room with the iron and I don't know if the quilt will shift when moved.

2. If I leave the quilt on the table to dry over night instead of ironing it - it is ok to have a bit of the sides hang over the edge of the table or will this distort the quilt?

3. Some tutes have glue diluted with a bit of water and some just use full strength from the bottle - opinions??

Thank you all for any help and info. I'm a bit apprehensive but I REALLY don't like pin basting!
