[DIYbio] How does Gelgreen stain DNA? Thoughts on placement in well instead of gel or buffer?

There's a small group of us that are working with GelGreen at
Biocurious in an effort to find the most efficient and cost-effective
way to use it. We've tried pre-staining (in gel) and post-staining
(in buffer) and both work well. We were wondering if there is any way
to combine the stain with the DNA prior to or at the time of -
insertion into the well of the gel. We haven't been able to find any
information about how it actually stains. We ran a quick test last
night and found that it does migrate with the DNA but not cleanly.
Does this make any sense or are we wasting our time? Has anyone
experimented with this or know how Gelgreen stains the DNA?
Thanks,
Cameron
