Default Giving wood glue a whirl...

I'm going to start building an Ultra Sport 40 in a couple of days. I am planning on trying wood glue instead of CA. I will be using TiteBond2 and had a few questions:

What type of applicators should i use? Since this stuff is WAY thicker than any CA glue, I feel that application may be one of my biggest problems.

Do i need to use clamping pressure? (like when the tail surfaces are being assembled)

how long should i let the glue set up for before moving to the next step?

This will be by third kit build. I used CA glue on the first two kits without any major problems (except for the fumes and sanding issues), but have read about how "once you go alphatic, you never go back," so i thought i would give it a try.

thanks in advance!
