For future reference:

The anti squeal gels/sprays only need to be applied to where the pistons make contact with the brake pads backing plate,...and on calipers that utilize abutment plates, just where the edges of the pad would make contact with the plates. The purpose is to act as a harmonic dampener between the pad and caliper.
Yeah,..I spreaded it out evenly and took off the excess when as it dried off.. comes off easier that way....
