I claim: 1. A method of dispensing adhesive comprising conveying a piece of material along a processing path under an adhesive dispenser system having a plurality of stations arranged across the processing path, each station including two glue supply lines for carrying glue components A and B separately, a mixing chamber connected downstream from the two glue supply lines for thoroughly mixing glue components A and B immediately before dispensing, and a deposition device connected downstream from the mixing chamber, each deposition device having a drive mechanism including a motor configured to oscillate the deposition device; separately adding adhesive components A and B within the mixing chamber of each station, to form a rapid gelling adhesive; independently oscillating the deposition device at each station; and dispensing the rapid gelling adhesive through the oscillating deposition device of each station producing a substantially uniform adhesive distribution across the processing path, wherein each deposition device includes a housing device having a bore, and a rotatable cylinder located in the bore of the housing device, the cylinder having an aperture directed toward the processing path, the method further comprising the step of channeling mixed adhesive from the mixing chamber to the aperture in the cylinder, and rotating the cylinder, thereby producing a selected adhesive deposition pattern on the material. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the aperture in the cylinder has a funnel-shaped portion leading to a straight conduit portion. 3. A method of dispensing adhesive comprising conveying a piece of material along a processing path under an adhesive dispenser system having a plurality of stations arranged across the processing path, each station including two glue supply lines for carrying glue components A and B separately, a mixing chamber connected downstream from the two glue supply lines for thoroughly mixing glue components A and B immediately before dispensing, and a deposition device connected downstream from the mixing chamber, each deposition device having a drive mechanism including a motor configured to oscillate the deposition device; separately adding adhesive components A and B within the mixing chamber of each station, to form a rapid gelling adhesive; independently oscillating the deposition device at each station; and dispensing the rapid gelling adhesive through the oscillating deposition device of each station producing a substantially uniform adhesive distribution across the processing path, wherein each deposition device includes a rotating cylinder having an aperture directed toward the processing path, and a flexible tube running from the respective mixing chamber through the aperture in the cylinder, the method further comprising the step of rotating the cylinder, thereby producing a selected adhesive deposition pattern on the material. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the aperture in the rotating cylinder has a graduated inner diameter. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein the flexible tube portion makes a 360 degree loop between the mixing chamber and the deposition device. 6. The method of claim 3, further comprising the step of rotating the cylinder approximately 700 oscillations-per-minute. 7. A method of dispensing adhesive comprising conveying a piece of material along a processing path under an adhesive dispenser system having a plurality of stations arranged across the processing path, each station including two glue supply lines for carrying glue components A and B separately, a mixing chamber connected downstream from the two glue supply lines for thoroughly mixing glue components A and B immediately before dispensing, and a deposition device connected downstream from the mixing chamber, each deposition device having a drive mechanism including a motor configured to oscillate the deposition device; separately adding adhesive components A and B within the mixing chamber of each station, to form a rapid gelling adhesive; independently oscillating the deposition device at each station; and dispensing the rapid gelling adhesive through the oscillating deposition device of each station producing a substantially uniform adhesive distribution across the processing path, wherein for at least one station, the deposition device includes an aperture in fluid communication with the mixing chamber, the aperture being adapted to receive and dispense the mixed rapid gelling adhesive, wherein the drive member for the at least one station is adapted to oscillate the aperture, and the dispensing step includes dispensing the rapid gelling adhesive through the oscillating aperture of the at least one station on to the material, and wherein for the at least one station, the deposition device includes a rotating member seated in a housing, the drive mechanism is adapted to rotate the rotating member within the housing, and the aperture passes through the rotating member, and further wherein the oscillating step includes rotating the rotating member of the at least one station within the housing. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the drive mechanism of the at least one station is a pneumatic drive mechanism. 9. A method of dispensing adhesive comprising conveying a piece of material along a processing path under an adhesive dispenser system having a plurality of stations arranged across the processing path, each station including two glue supply lines for carrying glue components A and B separately, a mixing chamber connected downstream from the two glue supply lines for thoroughly mixing glue components A and B immediately before dispensing, and a deposition device connected downstream from the mixing chamber, each deposition device having a drive mechanism including a motor configured to oscillate the deposition device; separately adding adhesive components A and B within the mixing chamber of each station, to form a rapid gelling adhesive; independently oscillating the deposition device at each station; and dispensing the rapid gelling adhesive through the oscillating deposition device of each station producing a substantially uniform adhesive distribution across the processing path, wherein for at least one station, the deposition device includes a flexible tube in fluid communication with the mixing chamber, the flexible tube being adapted to receive the mixed rapid gelling adhesive, and to dispense the rapid gelling adhesive through a dispensing tip, wherein the drive member is adapted to oscillate the dispensing tip through the path, and further wherein the oscillating step includes oscillating the dispensing tip of the at least one station through the path with the drive mechanism, and the dispensing step includes dispensing the rapid gelling adhesive through the dispensing tip of the at least one station on to the material, and wherein for the at least one station, the deposition device includes a rotating member seated in a housing, the rotating member including an aperture therethrough, wherein the flexible tube passes through the aperture, and the drive mechanism is adapted to oscillate the rotating member within the housing, thereby causing the dispensing tip to oscillate, and further wherein the oscillating step includes oscillating the rotating member of the at least one station within the housing with the drive mechanism thereby causing the dispensing tip to oscillate, and the dispensing step includes dispensing the rapid gelling adhesive through the oscillating dispensing tip of the at least one station and on to the material. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the oscillating step includes oscillating the rotating member at approximately 700-oscillations-per-minute.
