Do you put the glue on the batting or the flimsy Stitchnripper? I put it on the batting but some soaked through to the flimsy. It is hard on my hands to squeeze the bottle for the whole quilt. That is why I was wondering about thinning the glue and using a spray bottle. I let mine dry overnight instead of ironing. Then the next day I do the other side. It takes a bit of time but no getting poked by pins. That is a good tip about a keeping a wet cloth handy. My fingers were sticky by the time I was done.
