Gluesticks

Super glue removal from furniture?

I have accidentaly spilled some standard super glue from walmart or gas station (small disposable tube) onto my brand new solid cherry wooden home office desk. I need to know how to remove this without damaging the bueatiful stained wood finish. Some spots appear to be soaked in, and others are raised, dried glue. Any suggestions....... PLEASE HELP!

1. For the spots that have soaked in there really is no 'fix' per say other than to sand it down and re-finish it. For the raised spots you may be able to scrape it off with a razor blade, understand though the finish has been compromised by the compounds the glue is made from (cyano-acrylics). This stuff raises cain with stains, paints and other adhesives as well as destroy plastics (etching and 'clouding'). So I guess what I'm saying is: Unfortunately it is now time to refinish the desk top. Bonifide furniture re-finishers will tell you the same thing.
2. samne problem as the lady who spilled finger nail polish remover and her 2000 table. you may scrap it and remove finish, add acetone and rfemove finish or get super fine sand paper and sand it and rough up the whole finish, it is cheaper to go to a store and buy a clear glass covering for fine wood furniture exposed to everyday habits
