Want to know how to quickly spread liquid adhesive over a large surface area?

How about using those phoney plastic credit cards you receive in the mail?  The ones you're not using on your latest vacation layout to show how you paid for the trip.  Save your used phone cards too as they are great glue-spreaders!  Use the otherwise wasted plastic card to swipe and spread the liquid glue into a thin, even layer over a big surface area. When you're done, simply wipe the card clean and reuse again and again.
