1-1/2 is too narrow on my bander. It can be done, but the piece is prone to tipping and comes out over/under trimmed. I make extra nailers/stretchers (~3-1/2), band both edges and rip them in half.
Banded edges should require no to minimal cleanup. I usually run a utility blade along the face to insure the banding is flush, it will also remove the bulk of any excess glue. I do any glue cleanup with 3M citrus cleaner (lacquer thinner also works).
