Bedding Bottom in 3M 5200

Ok - so I getting close to putting the bottom on my boat. Got it rough cut last night and am hoping to get it screwed and glued in the next couple days.
So the 3M adhesive... after the frames and chine are coated with the adhesive and the bottom goes on and gets screwed down, can you just wipe the excess amount away from joints if it oozes out? Do I need to use a rag with spirits or anything like that? I have never used this goop before, and am looking for the "just make sure you don't" tips! haha

Thanks fellas.

Quick update - the bottom is on the boat and fits pretty snug all around. Cleaning that 5200 off stuff it isn't supposed to be on is not the most fun task - but everything seemed to fit and screw together nicely... I will post some pics once I pull them off my camera... Thanks for all who posted in response to my questions. The tips helped out in a big way.
