I've even tried the micro thin dispensing tubes and it still goes where you don't want. I apply a thin layer of Deft to the piece so the glue won't stain the other areas and then just try not to touch the piece other wise you get your hands stuck to the wood or the tool rest. Not that I've ever done that you understand.

>Apply some finishing oil to the area around the crack. Apply the thin glue and watch it run into the crack and just bead up on the oil. The best part is that with this method the glue won't stain the wood surrounding the crack.
