Default Removing glue from covering

Whats the best method to remove that white CA glue residue from plastic covering? I did some gluing around the covering on an ARF and now I've got that whitish CA glue haze that needs cleaning up.

Thanks.

Hobby Peoples "Kwik de-bonder" works for me on Monokote. You also might try acetone.

Here's the linkhttp://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/887545.asp<br type="_moz" />

Here is what I use to remove CA glue, runs, drips, ect from plastic film covering Ultra Cote, Monocote ect, I do advice that you put some on a piece of the covering first because it will attack certain types of china cote etc. The main compound in the debonder (2oz bottle $7.49) that atually removes the CA is Acetone. So why buy a 2 oz bottle for 7.49 when you can buy 100% Acetone in a quart can for 6.49 from your local hardware store. I believe this is a no brainer

You can also use trim Kote solvent.
