Shantam,
I use 1 part A and 1 part B ratio when mixing the glue for my limbs. Then I gently warm the mix with a controlled heat source until it gets smooth to apply. For me it works fine, no problems putting it on.
If I make a laminated or flaired riser I use 2 parts A and 1 part B. According to the instructions on the cans this ratio can stand more heat so the glued riser is not effected by the heat when de complete bow is put in the heat box.

I use plastic spoons. One spoon for each part. It don't have to be perfect.

shantam how are you applying it to your lams? I try to get mine warm in the hotbox before mixing and keep a heat lamp above it after mixed. I use a stick usally a thin slice of scrap to spresd it on the lams then roll it out with a narrow paint roller. You think you got too much on but the excess will squeeze out when you apply the hose or clamps.
