Default Basting with Elmer's Glue - - - ugh

After reading the rave reviews about using Elmer's glue to baste quilts I tried it. I used this on 2 quilts and working on basting the third one today. I really struggle with the glue bottle!! When I squeeze it onto my quilt and/or batting my poor hands can't take it. I don't know if that means I am old woman with arthritis or if its carpal tunnel.. but it really ruins it for me. I have tried duliting the glue and then it is much, much easier on wrists and hands.. but I am afraid that it will just soak into the fabric and not stick the layers together. Does anyone else have this problem? What do you do?
