Likewise Casamite, but I've got a feel for mixing it in multiples of 1 or 1/2 teaspoon amounts for the different regular builds. Wife keeps me supplied with small plastic containers (50-100ml) intercepted between the kitchen and the recycle bin, so no cleanup problems. Coffee Bar stirrer spatulas somehow also find there way into the shop for application and spreading..... I like using plastic resin glue (like DAP Weldwood), but haven't used any on turned work. It's a bit of a hassle since it's a powder that's mixed with water, but it would be easy to make up small batches for things like this.

...My wife saves little one-ounce plastic cups and short plastic paddle stirrers*. They are great for mixing small batches of glue, or mixing dye and DNA before putting it in the spray gun...
Thanks for the pics, Chas. I was thinking you had glued up flat lumber, but your process lets you use odd pieces that are not already milled.
I've run into the PVA creep issues you mentioned, but on flatwork like cutting boards. I like using plastic resin glue (like DAP Weldwood), but haven't used any on turned work.
