Glue will not stick where the stain is. You can use masking tape but you
will still get some bleeding.

No need for dark glue, Keith. I work in a cabinet shop and we glue up
panels all the time with good old yellow glue. You should have some
squeeze-out at joints. Keep a wet rag around (we use old cottage cheese tubs
for the water) and thoroughly wipe away excess glue when it's wet and you
won't have a problem staining. Yes, it will raise the grain slightly, but
you will be sanding anyway. Pre-staining doesn't work very well.

I've done it both ways. It is easier to be careful with the glue. You are
right though; it is essential there is no glue where you will be staining.
