Now, I lay down backing, then batting. Start in middle and spray/join in 2 sections, then 2 sections to the other end. Same for top.
I use the Elmers washable school glue - so I didn't know if your observation was for that or 505. I can smooth out with using the glue. I do push from the center out. My method is just a thin drizzle from the bottle onto the batting in a random grid approximating where I would put pins. I don't thin it out, roll it on every inch, etc. I think of it as replacing pin basting not spray basting. I have gone as big as queen size with no issues.
