Difficulty stacking with new WL bond

So I’m really liking the new Bondage. No stinging or discomfort and the hold is really long lasting. But I am having a few issues with the new WL, specifically using it to stack. My former routine was using either the double-sided WL or a disposable brush in the squeeze tube of WL to dab on top of the first layer to stack more. The consistency was runny enough that this worked pretty well. I’ve never had much success trying to put it on the gossamer itself.

I’m finding that the new WL clear side is pretty thick and hard to get a small dab of glue in place. I’m getting some pretty big blobs that show up when it’s dried, looking like eye crud. The little disposable brushes also don’t seem to fit into the 2-sided bonds. Should I be pushing them in more, scooping some of the bond out and dabbing from there or buying the individual ones and trying to shove it into those squeeze tubes? Has anyone else run into this issue? I actually prefer the old WL and it also seemed like there was more product in the tubes, or am I just imagining this? I know they switched to the US but was there a reason to change the formulation?
