Do any of you have any tips on removing ca glue from the sides of the guitar, i had some run down the sides in some places and the line is quite thick.

If the guitars is finished you will need to scrape and fin sand it off I would use a box cutter razor with the corners rounded and turn a burr. Place scotch tape on the ends to create a stand off of a couple thousands. Scrape till you are as low as possible. Then sand with 800,100,1500 till the shadow is gone and polish and buff out.

If the guitar is in the white then you can use CA remover such as acetone or scrape and sand with more aggressive paper like 150-220 till you are to wood.

In either case while sanding use a small sanding block to back up the paper
