I have been using Elmers Ultimate glue on a project and I have found it
expands and
leaves nasty glue marks on the outside of the finish project that I have
been sanding off.

In very tight corners it is most nearly impossible to sand, especially
across the grain.

With the old Elmers wood glue or white glue. I used to wipe it down with
water and that would
remove most, if not all of the glue so sanding would not be a problem and
the wood would take
a nice stain.

Is there a way one can prevent or easily remove the extra residue of
Ultimate glue or gorilla glue
before it dries so I don't have the problems of sanding in tight corners?

Does anyone have any special tricks up their proverbial sleeves?

Expansion and foaming are characteristics of polyurethane adhesives. If you
don't specifically need their properties then stay with one of the PVA
glues.

Best bet, as others have suggested, is to mask.
