I'm new to gluing up braces with a go bar deck and HG but I put my go bars on about every inch or so. I just glued on the X brace the other day and put the intersection go bar on first and then some where near the center of the rays and then the ends and then filled the gaps. I used a 4 oz. squeeze bottle that floats in my Rival Hot Pot Express (much cheaper then a glue pot, $20 or less I think) to apply the glue down the brace and placed it. Pretty much, well just like John Mayes does in his video. It's pretty fast and faster then messing with a brush. For what it's worth.
