straight out of the bottle....

I like to just take off the top of my Elmer's glue bottle and use a small paint brush to apply. That way there is no 'globs' of glue and makes a smoother surface.

Ditto what TerryQuilter said. I use Elmer's and straight out of the bottle. If you dilute it, I would be afraid it wouldn't adhere like it should.

Got some at Wally World yesterday for 15 cents, 4 oz. size, no limit. Needless to say, I grabbed several.

I use it straight out of the bottle. I use the back of a spoon to flatten any areas that look a little lumpy.

Well, thanks for the tip about the spoon. I use mine straight out of the bottle but tend to get globs every now and then - I'll for sure use a spoon to remedy that next time. Sometimes I add a little water to a bottle that's almost been used up. Haven't noticed any problems so far.

I just tried this method and did very well using the glue straight from the bottle. I also tried diluting the glue 50/50 with water and that didn't work well at all (although it might have been the spray bottle I was using).

So after you get the glue on and it holds the edges together does the glue not hurt your sewing machine neddles?

Sorry I misspelled some words I had 5 biopsies and some freezing done on me yesterday and since they bled so much last night I had to go back today to have 3 of them re cortirized. That medicine they deaden with makes me shake really bad. So I can't spell either.

You can dilute at least 2 to 1 with water and then use in a spray bottle. 2 or even 3 parts water to 1 part glue.
