Can the glue constrict a flower bud so much that it cannot set fruit? Does the emerging fruit need to be set free from a crust of glue? At what stage is the dipping done? How you dip a single bud without affecting the rest of the branch?. Would it be easier to paint the glue on? I have never tried it because I cannot picture how to do it, but I love the elegance of the concept. Definitely ready to learn more

I'll try and do a picture to show you soon as I get my act together. But apply the glue whichever way is easiest for you, I think I found a small glue bottle with a narrow nozzle about the easiest handy to keep on a shelf or pocket. Apply a blob of glue to the opening end of the petals just before the bud opens, once the fruit has set they seem to have no problem breaking the old glued petals open as they grow.
