Is there a product that will remove CA glue from a UV poly finish that won't eat the finish? I smeared jet glue on a headstock and I'm hoping I can avoid a sand/rebuff...
Thanks

Don't know about the UV but I've used 100% acetone to remove CA from standard polyester finish. Didn't even touch the polyester. I tested in the pickup cavity first. It beaded up and didn't even begin to dissolve the guitar finish, and it took the CA right off.

Have used super glue remover without any harm

Hmmm, but what is superglue remover?

Acetone will remove CA, and should have zero effect on UV polyester.
I have done it a few times on Taylors with UV polyester, and hundreds of times on the catalyzed polyester of Asian guitars.

Mostly acetone.

Acetone and nitromethane both work well as CA solvents, it's likely one of those.
