10. try to melt it and then scrape it off
11. nailpolish remover (but get 100% acetone, its stronger)
12. Try using a small razorblades and slowly work around the edges or there is nail polish remover but razorblades are more fun!!!!!!
13. paint thinner, or nail polish remover work best
14. They actually sell SUPER GLUE REMOVER. Nail Polish remover will work but it might damage the surface too.
15. I would try a very fine sand paper, the glue will come off no question, the concern is not scratching the bass. I would go to home depot and speak to someone out there who knows the chemicals. someone in the paint section.
16. try using the nail paint remover.. I was told that it's easier to remove superglue with it.. I just looked it up, guess I was right.. here's link saying nail paint remover works.. http://www.supergluecorp.com/removingsuperglue.html
17. Super glue will usually come off with items that contain acetone such as fingernail polish. Just beware... I know from experience what fingernail polish remover can do to carpets and such. Be careful what you get it on.
18. add more super glu to the intire surface that way you will have a neat even poris top then spoung with 2 dif. paints then spray with clear coat sealer. what a master piece you have created. good luck!!
