When the first bottle cools, I switch it to the second bottle and freshen the bowl with fresh hot tap water. This is the quickest way I have ever basted.
When finished the glue dries very quickly. If it had been thinned, it would have taken longer to dry.
i glue baste too and don’t thin it but I like your suggestion of the hot tap water to set it in.
I have problems with cross hatching too but I do better with a free motion foot for short distances and a ruler and ruler foot for long distances and don’t get the puckers.
