Another question: covering glue

My other question is about the covering glue. So far I have been
spraying 3M - 77 straight out of the can, but after a while the glue
starts to come out in bigger lumps, and also some fine threads. No good.
Last year I tried diluting the glue into xylene and then brushing on the
structure, but that was a no-go, building up horrendous amounts of
weight before there was any stickiness. Obviously the glue went into the
wood.

I've heard (in this group) that if the frame is put onto the film and
then dilute glue is brushed onto the seam, the glue will keep to the
foil and not soak into the wood. So that would be one option. But I'd
rather add the glue onto the frame first. I wonder if it would be
possible to use an airbrush to spray diluted glue onto structures?
Assuming that the spray can has started misbehaving as glue has become
too thick in the can?
