I saw a glue roller product listed on this site a year or so ago and ordered one from Amazon. This is a different listing but looks identical to mine, so should be the same.

It's a game changer - so easy to avoid globs. I dilute the glue a tiny bit - like maybe a TBSP or so to a bottle, and I refill from a gallon jug of Elmer's washable school glue. Give it a try - squeezes easy and spreads well.
