Phil, when I put my weatherstripping on, i applied the adhesive about a foot or two at a time. Then let it dry the appropriate time and then stuck that section in place. That worked OK, but still kind of a pain. I did it with the doors in place, which made it a little difficult working around the hinges. I did trim the weatherstrip thickness in one spot so it wouldn't stick out when the door closed. Definitely not the most fun process.
