: Can anyone with experience tell me if it is better to leave the excess glue
: between strips to set up and scrape it all off when finished or try and
: wipe up the glue after each strip is placed.

I've always wondered about this. On my boat I scraped it off when tacky. Even so, there were smears. Upon fairing, those smeared areas required more sanding which made it tougher to keep the surface flat. If I were to do it again, I'd prolly let the glue dry longer before I scraped it off.
