Question Super Glue Remover On Bridge Plate

I removed a K&K Mini from my guitar and still have some super glue residue on the bridge plate.

Is it ok to use super glue remover to get the residue off?

Thanks in advance.

Mechanical means (scraping and sanding) would be more controllable and less likely to cause collateral damage.

Should be fine, but be careful. Super glue remover contains acetone, which is not good for a lacquer finish.

I just used a razor blade and slowly got it off.

Thanks

My opinion: Unless the glue residue is causing problems, I'd leave it alone RIP. Remove it when it's in the way, otherwise leave it alone. No chemicals or sharp objects. Safer that way.
