The problem is that the glue gets into the pores of the wood and that prevents the stain from penetrating. I have had limited succes in small areas by masking the area to keep the sawdust/glue confined to the place that needs the repair. Further, I have found that gel stains give a better result if using either sawdust/glue or filler. The gels tend to stay on top rather than be absorbed like liquid stains and act much the same as paint..
