The struts are great. But as you have already said it is a bit too much of glue. To prevent this you can take a sewing needle and cut the upper arc of the hole. So you get a y-shaped "fork" between that you can dip in a small amount of superglue and place it where you like. The hardened excess glue can be burnt easily with a lighter.
You can also take an accupunkure needle, anneal it and bend it to a tiny slope to pick up the glue.
