How do you spread glue over a large surface?
#11
The glueup is a bent lamination of 4 plys 30" x 72". The bend is pretty gentle, only 120" radius, but I need good strength in the final piece. Planning on using ordinary yellow glue, which will be plenty strong. Thinking of using a squeegee. What would you use?

9" black foam roller Allow extra glue to start until the roller gets saturated.

Under a buck. I use them for spreading glue when veneering to help get a uniform coating. Ace Hardware

+1 on notched trowel. Roller works, but I find the trowel gives better control.

+1 on foam roller. That's what I have used for larger pieces. Not perfect but pretty quick.

I start by trying to spread glue on a small surface. The rest just happens.
