Hi Ron, I simply use a small brush to apply the glue and once the parts are fitted together I use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the excess.. works for me....

I put my glue on straight from the bottle. Creating a thin and consistent bead leaves a neat finish. Just my way.

I've been doing something similar to what Jase describes, but using a pointy 'thing' that came with a craft knife set. essentially looks like a metal cocktail stick with a handle :-)

I'll squeeze a bit of wood glue into a bottle cap, then just 'lift' a bit out and spread it onto the surface to be glued. basically imitating the official diary build videos. I find it to be incredibly accurate, but does sometimes need a top up to make sure a contact is made.

Good luck with the build though Ron, have you got any pictures up yet?
