Removing glue

[Bullitt]

I am working on a '71 Hemi Cuda and when glueing the rear view mirrors to the doors, I got glue on the door. Any suggestions on what to use to remove the excess glus?

Is it a little or a lot? If it's a little, I just try to cover it up to the best of my ability...

If it's a lot, you may have to sand it smooth after it dries and repaint.

Depends on what kind of glue, how much, & what kind of paint. I've had instances where I've gotten a small amount of "super" type glue on one of my usual automotive lacquer paint jobs, and I just polished it out. Worked just fine. Steve

I agree with Steve. If it's a small spot, you can try using a Q-tip with a little Novus #2 (or equivalent) polish and work out the glue smear with gentle polishing. I've successfully managed to polish out a small super glue smear using this technique. It might work with regular styrene glue smears also.

It's not a lot, but on both sides of the car, Testor's model glue. This is the first model I have built in over 30 years, so the old hands aren't as steady as they used to be.
