You should leave each coat to go almost dry before applying the next, including the last coat before you press the lace down onto it... that`s the best way to apply glues [ unless there is a specific instruction on the Ghostbond bottle telling you to do it the way you`re apply it-- I`ve never used Ghostbond] .... if that doesn`t work, you may need to try a different glue, as sometimes, a particular glue may not work well with your particular body physiology
