Strip: dark glue lines *PIC*

I am hand beveling my strips and find that a little or rather a lot of oversanding is opening up a few gaps. the gaps are so small I just plan to let the epoxy fill them but I am also seeing some glue lines that look darker than the wood and has a look I can only describe as silicone like. If the gap has a couple bits of glue interspersed with gaps I will get a look that appears like I used filler poorly or just used filler since I cannot ever get filler to look even half way good. I don't want to dig into the tiny gap to clean up the glue, even a razor blade will open the gap.

I noticed that Gorilla glue says it dries to a light brown. Sound like a great fix except for the 12 buck a Quart. Has anyone had experience with either Gorilla Glue or Gorilla Wood Glue?
