Strip: stripping question

Hi all,
getting back to hull stripping my Spring Run kit. Life upheaval caused me to sop progress for the last 6 months.
Anyway, I'm halfway up the hull, from the sheer line, and a few dumb questions ...

1. Do folks wipe off the glue squeeze out? I had been doing so with wet paper towels but it's a PITA. I'm thinking of just letting the squeeze out dry and scrape off the hard globs.

2. What to do with small gaps?
I'm going B&C and in some small stretches there are very narrow gaps. Can I fill this after stripping? Do folks add slivers as they go to fill these? Or ...am I just being anal about it and should not obsess?

Thx,
Rob
