Air compressor and spray gun when using spray adhesive, a sanded dowle for doweling, a brush for dovetails.

All of the above.
Tend to use whatever is nearest to hand. If I'm edge gluing, I apply the glue directly from the nozzle on the end of the glue bottle and rely on compression to spread the glue through the joint.
For most other applications, everything from my finger through all the variations mentioned.
Incidentally, Zed, mate. Don't succumb to the temptations apparently represented by Lance Armstrong's socks. This is not a good thing. Trust me on this.Driver of the Forums

I turned a bunch of old (hanging) butter knives into spatulas. They clean up in water. Last forever.

I stock up on the small rectangles of benchtop laminate from the kitchen display type places. They work fine as is on small stuff and I cut grooves in them when required to leave bead lines of glue (when laminating). I find they spread evenly and it stops me getting it over my hands and then over the work when clamping. They also work well as shims behind the router fence when needed, for mixing casting resin and probably have another 98 uses... to top it off - they're free

...as a joke once. It was an arm if recall correctly, worked pretty well. I think its the only hand I've ever gotten in the shed.
Now that I have matured a little, I use a hard rubber roller from an art supply shop. I think it was $12.00, cleans up in warm water.

I'm with eastie, nothing beats laminex scraper, file a few notches in it and away you go. The bigger the notches the more glue applied. If you need practice have a go at a laminated timber yacht hull this tends to lead to perfection of these notches!
Thats my bit.....

So do you brush guys put the glue on the timber, or squirt the glue on the brush, or 'decant' the glue into a container and dip?
I've always just squirted it on the timber and mushed it around with my finger.

For epoxy: Disposable brushes, come in packs of 48 for about $10 at any Woodcraft Store throughout the USA --- haven't seen them in Australia though. Cheap enough to use once and throw away.
For PVA etc. ... the same brushes, but rinsed out and re-used.
Since I got onto these disposable brushes my glueing life (at least with epoxy) has been transformed. In Qld in summer I get about 10 minutes, 15 minutes max, before a batch of epoxy gets too stiff to apply. Fingers and pieces of wood can't do the job in the time.
