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?

Thanks,

As for polyurethane glue - tried it (naive enough to believe the ads).
Found it seriously wanting, especially in outdoor usages. For

For my money, its TiteBond III for external usages and plastic resin glue
for things that need a long open time. (Saw David Marks use a lot of
plastic resin glue, now I know why)

To date, I have not been disappointed in either. Also, both are much easier
to clean up.
