It's the big globs of white glue which are hard to remove. I put an even but thin ribbon on the bushing itself, and then use Bill Spurlock's cauls. By the time the wood absorbs some and the bushing absorbs some, there shouldn't be any left to squeeze out and make a mess. Actually, I found that the time I tried the hot hide glue it wicked into the cloth worse than the Elmer's. No doubt the hot hide glue was the wrong consistency and I probably used too much.
