He uses a small sponge with most of the water squeezed out. This
works well. But better yet, after you've done a few hundred glue-ups
you get to know the right amount of glue to apply such that there is
very little excess. Like the other posts, I like to peel off the
excess glue after 30-40 minutes. If I'm building a fine piece of
furniture, I prefer to line both sides of the joint with painter's
tape which is done at the time of the dry fit assembly. Glue left on
wood shows up like a sore thumb after the finish is applied.
This is just my opinion but let the glue dry then scrape it off. If you =
wipe it off with water then you leave a film of glue that will discolor =
your finish. YMMV

Actually, if you're close by, you can almost peel the leathery half-dried
stuff off in big boogers after twenty minutes. Don't scrape too much, or
you'll discover hollows when the surface dries.

If it's just plain old carpenter's glue then a wet (with water) rag does just
fine.

Yup... That has worked well for me for a long time.
There are a number of ways to accomplish the task but, yes, just plain old
water is what is being used.
Don't be skimpy with the water and turn and or rinse the rag frequently in
order to avoid smearing the glue rather than taking it off.

That's what I found as well. A good card scraper works for me and its makes
for easy work.
