Hi Shelley,
Sorry it's taken so long to reply to your post...Our site has been so very quiet for a long time..As for the glue in excess you must use like a razor blade or craft knife to scrape it off. I think the silicone 2 is the best thing to adhere to. Did you take pics of your work?
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you...
