I'm assuming that the darker colored areas on the inside of the back are water from removing excess glue. Just a suggestion: if you wait 5 to 10 minutes after gluing and clamping, the glue squeeeze-out will "rubberize" and can be removed with a chisel, or wooden stick shaped like a chisel blade, as a largely single rubbery strip, making a very clean gluing seam, without much fuss and without the need for water or messy rags/paper towels. The amount of glue required always seems to be less than intuitive, providing an even, small bead of squeeze out. More squeeze-out than that is a waste of glue and a mess. Experience teaches how much glue is necessary to apply.
