Any little extra at the edge of one half, where it doesn't contact the other half, like around the fixture holes, etc, can be wiped off with a Q-tip and acetone after you're all done. I clean up all around the joint line, just for neat appearance, but if you did this right, there should be almost nothing to clean up!
