If you place the cake decorating bag into a tall plastic cup and open it up it is very easy to pour/scrap the mix into it. I would pour the mix into the bag, shake it down and tie of the top, Cut the end and lay down a thick bead on top of the wet adhesive. It took just the two of us, my wife and I to do the entire wing close out in 40 minutes. I believe this is easier and faster than trying to use the tubes.

Bob,
Hadn't thought about how to fill the cartridges. (That's another helpers job right?) I like the idea of the zip lock bags but would prefer the consistency to be thicker than I can push easily. I always make quite the mess with a "bakery bag" and end up pushing stuff out the top. Thanks for the advice. -- Bart D.

Thanks for the advice. I used to have the same problem with the cake bags. I couldn't hold the top tight enough while squeezing and some of the mix would always squeeze out. I finally tried twisting the top and using some of those plastic zip-ties to close it off. Works great and nothing comes out the top.
