I trim my trees during the summer and autumn - same with my shrubs. As long as there's no risk of frost you should be OK. I've never put glue on any of the cut ends and can't really see it being much of an advantage as the cut branch will more than likely grow side shoots anyway. Maybe someone else will have experience with the glue you are talking about. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
