Hello all I'm using CA Glue for the first time, was wondering what to use to clean it up with quickly before it sets. What solvent seems to work best, thanks!

I bought my CA from Lee Valley. They also have the solvent for it. I think the solvent might be just as nasty as the glue itself. Check it out:

You need a special solvent for CA.

Yep, that nail polish remover (acetone) works great. Ask me about the time I had to drive to the drug store at 10:30 at night with a fret board stuck to my hand.
