Default glue basting quilts

I have learned so much on this board, and one of my favorite has been glue basting a quilt. Saves me so much money, I just love it.

My issue that I just finished a quilt that was a nightmare!! I glue basted it but things did not go well so I want ask questions to see what I could have done wrong

I had spots of glue that I could not even sew through. I had to stop and sew from the other direction. I also had more wrinkles on this quilt than I ever have... so I need some help

I watched this video and she does it similar, but also does things that I have not and would not do

Question #1 - do you use the glue straight or do you dilute it with water?

Question #2 - do you have all 3 layers down when you baste right from the start like this lady does? Or do you do it slower? (just have the backing and batting down and baste that. then when that is done you add the top and baste that?)

Question #3 - do you use the water bottle and iron? if so, what does that do? does it just speed up the drying? or what?
