Gluing Bow and Stern Short Strips

Hello Forum
I am building a Ranger 15 without staples and the cove down. I am trying to figure out the best way to get the glue on these strips without making too much of a mess. My first attempts have been less than stellar. Any advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance
Eric
