FL 12 Rub Rail

I am worried about glue seeping out from the clamped pieces of plywood during the Rub Rail installation. Is there a way to prevent this from occurring? Thanks.

Skeg connection

Can the skeg be glued to the underside of the boat after laying the fiberglass (post cure) ? Or is it better to glue the skeg directly to bare wood?
