Someone here mentioned a possibility-that the end grain absorbed the
glue. I haven't run into that before but the picture did look as
though the end grain was mighty porous.

I just dampen one side of the

directions on the container calls for

"...for hardwoods like oak or maple lightly dampen both surfaces"

The first time (edge to edge joint) I wiped them with a damp rag. The joint I
pictured was misted with a spray a bottle.
Everything was cured overnight.
The only things common are the wood itself and the glue. I have a dialog going
with gorillaglue.com.
Today I am going to glue up some other types of wood with this same glue.
