That magical booger-like consistency. You only have a few minutes to
get it right.
The glue curls up, but doesn't smear.
THAT is the magic of a successful panel glue-up.

I use a slightly dull 1-1/4" Marples chisel, which does nothing else
but that.
When one of my guys reaches into my toolbox with the intent of using
that chisel for anything else, I express my discontent in a
unmistakable manner.

I have a chisel like that for trimming edgebanding. It does nothing
else.
