Have you thought of mini glue dots or self adhesive pin backs?

I am making these pins and I have purchased the pin backs that are 3/4 inch
long.  I need to glue the pin backs to a plastic cylinder.  So now I
purchased a small hot glue gun and tried that.  Well yep I seem to be
burning my fingers if I put the glue on the cylinder and then pick up the
pin  and try to find where I glued it.  I can take the burnt fingers, but if
I  take too long to figure out where to put the pin back and where the glue
is, the glue begins to cool and get hard so it won't stick properly.
 
So I tried Aleene's Tacky jar glue.  This I used actually one of those
little plastic cheese spreaders that you get in those packages that have 4
crackers and the smooth cheese you spread on the crackers.  Well I did a
pretty good jjob putting the glue on and the pin back.  I even did not get
too much glue squeezing out under the pin back, but...  When I opened up
the pin back to pin it on the cards I have made up for the pins.  I guess I
didn't use enough glue as the backs came off the cylinders.
 
I figure I can give crazy glue a try, but any suggestions how to not get the
glue dripping off the cylinder?  How to locate pin back to glue spot fast
enough without seeing?  And how do I do this without gluing my fingers  or
pin or pin back to the above mentioned places?  I can easily clean the glue
that I have used so far off the granite counter, but I need some suggestions
here.
 
Help, Help, Help!
