Gorilla Glue for stripping

Several days ago Rob Macks posted a thread about using Gorilla glue for stipping; he suggested running a 1/32" bead in the joint. I tried using this glue generally and found that its properties of expanding volume 3X and another listers comment about the fact that it clogs a syringe, caused me to wonder how to apply it consistently. Does anyone (Rob, are you there?) have any suggestions as to how to apply it. I understand the Titebond II works well in a syringe and cleans up easily with water, which is an attractive option. Since I live in the deep south where temps get hot in the summer, the Gorilla glue was attractive based on Rob's experience of Titebond possibly causing flecking under the glass. Thanks for any suggestions.
