Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I just realized I had left a small super glue goober on one of my guitar tops. I remember a previous thread talking about removing this stuff, but couldn't seem to find it.
Can anyone give me the scoop on getting this off without effecting the finish? |

Location: SoCal | Vince...simple IF it is the catalyzed polyester used on the O's...but I don't know if one of the solid bodies or the Storm series.
For our "roundback", use CyA (super glue) remover/thinner. Wipes right off w/o hurting the guitar's finish.
I have found inconsistency between CyA...sometimes, takes a little rubbing depending on the remover/thinner. I use StewMac's Super Glue Remover since I get the CyA from the same source.
If you get the remover/thinner from a hobby/craft store, might need a small amount of rubbing.
Still, easy. |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | Thanks Tony. After reading on the superglue remover tube that the first ingredient was acetone, I started picturing a nasty smudge mark in the top finish. Thats a scary thought since the top is in really good condition (Custom Legend natural finish). I guess I'll try it with a q-tip. |

Location: Lebanon, TN | Tony you are a god! I have a superglue smudge as I tried fix down the epauletes on my W597 which lifted when I was back in the UK. Was really careful but still ended up with the yucky smudge on the lower one. I will go order some of that CyA right now! Cheers mate :D |

Location: SoCal | Wait! A W597 is an Adamas (duh) - not sure about the finish on a CVT. Send an email to Kim.
The use and removal of CyA refers to the Ovation wood tops. |
