I have quite a lot; most not finished eg:

Is there a faster way to "terrain" them than painstakingly applying glue to the edges, etc, with all the consequent scraping out of the interior holes?

Nope
I can't find another way - my rebasing Rushins is taking an age

Is it possible to put blanks in the holes while you texture the edges so that you minimise spillage into the holes?

I paint the glue on with a paintbrush and have never had an issue with getting any on the inside?

Jeremy wins the prize. I'll give it a go....I'm assuming wood glue (white stuff) & watered down?

Nope. Straight out the bottle. I prefer it thicker as it doesn’t run anywhere then

With a paintbrush, you can apply as thickly or as thinly as you like. Don’t go too thick cos then it will ooze over the sides.

nah the glue still gets everywhere but the next day paint the base with watered down paint and it softens the glue so you can get it out easily from your crevasses (oh err missus)with a blade
