RE: running tubes of glue
I fletch arrows at the shop where I work and I always have that problem. To fix it I squeeze very slowly when applying glue and stop squeezing before I reach the end of the vane. That allows the glue to start slowing down while I' m still using it. Another thing that helps is to unscrew the mouth of the tube slightly. That seems to equalize the pressure inside and usually makes the glue stop.
