Glue management for refretting

I'm doing my first refret and I'm curious if I'm missing any good techniques for avoiding getting glue all over the place. A little got onto the fingerboard around the edges of the frets. And in a couple cases, it came out of a fret end on the side of the neck and now I've got to scrape and sand. It'll be doable but it's a lot of extra work.

Are there any good tips and tricks for this? Am I just using too much glue? I'm pressing the fret in, using a whip tip to wick the CA glue in, and then pressing some more.
