Keith, you are correct. But the key here again is to only use what is needed and no more.......neatness counts where excess glue is concerned.
I always keep a wet paper towel and wipe away all unnecessary glue. I would think that the actual weight difference would only be an important factor in smaller planes, like half A and smaller. Lighter is always better in any scale, but the glue usually isn't much of a factor in the large scales.
