Well, yes, once pva glue sets it takes more than just a wet cloth to
clean up squeeze out. So???

I use it, but find if you don't clamp the heck out of the work it tends to
expand as it hardens.

Not that it relates to your intended usage, but here's my experience
with it. I used it on several items made from pressure treated wood,
said items sat outside on the ground. All the glued joints came apart
within a year. Don't know if the problem was the glue, the PT wood, or
the ground contact, but it sure didn't work like I expected.

PT wood does not absorb glue like untreated wood.

It sure does a good job of absorbing water. And since
you moisten the surfaces prior to applying gorilla glue,
I thought the glue would follow the moisture into the
wood grain. Apparently not.
