If there is too much glue and it's over the seam you can use the edge of the hot glue gun to smooth it out.
If there isn't enough glue you can use caulk to fill it in(and a drop of water to smooth it out, as seen in Evil Ted's tutorial here:

I use this method and I really like it. Same caulk.
The only difference I do, is I'll water it down and put on a layer or two of the runny caulk first so it gets into the foam pores better, then finish it off with a layer of straight caulk. He also said you can't sand it, but once it cures and it's done shrinking, I sand it with 150 grit sand paper and get a really smooth finish and usually get it so you'd have to look really close to see a seam, if any at all. It takes longer, but sometimes worth it to get a nice smooth surface.
