So I'm just finishing up building my fancy new plane. It uses CA hinges and I inadvertantly overshot and got a drop or two of thin CA on my elevator. I wiped it up quickly, but it has left a 'foggy' streak.

Anyone know of a good, safe, easy way to get it off ? Or am I stuck with a dull spot on my beautiful covering job ?

Thanks for the help.

Try using a little acetone on a rag, or paper towel, and gently rub. My take a couple of doses of acetone on the rag. The acetone, itself, will not hurt the finish. Hope this works for you.

Most brands of CA have a dissolver that will soften up cured CA. I have used this to just the same thing you are talking about. squirt a little dissolver on a paper towel and rub off the CA spots till its gone. Then a little de-natured alcohol to get it all off.

hope this helps

CA debonder (dissolver) is acetone as far as I could tell. I looked the product safety sheet on <can't remember manufactuers name> web site and it contained acetone. It's not a stinky as acetone, however. I just use acetone.

Same as with your fingers. Painfully peel off the glued skin/monkote.

Most nail polish removers are acetone based so they will work just fine.
