The epoxy will most likely break down in the heat of baking.
I finish my handles and polish almost all of it. I avoid polishing the corby holes because the action of the buffer will round the edges of the holes and they will not be flush when I grind down the corby-heads later. This takes care and finesse.
Once I've finished the handle to the dimensions of the tang, I disassemble and paint (I use Duracoat on some of mine).
I have not had any issues with additional squeeze out after the initial wipe down. Just make sure you get it all and have some voids inside the handle to give the epoxy someplace to go--and don't over-tighten. You don't want a 'glue-starved' joint.
