for a fine aplicator for tite bond, I use a old CA bottle with a new top and it works well for glue control.
if you cut just the tip off you will have a fine applicator for the small pieces and tight areas also.
Q-tips work well for removing the excess tite bond glue from corners and such,before it dry's you can also dampen them slightly to help remove the glue without soaking the wood with water and causing warpage.
I personally use CA alot because when I do have some build time I like to knock out a bunch of steps, if I had more extra time to build I would use tite bond more being that the toxic nature of CA will catch up with you eventually.
I also only use tite bond for joining balsa sheets, stacking several joined sheets on top of each other with wax paper dividers then weighted with heavy books overnight CA just doesn't sand well at all for sheeting.
