Default Fish glue question

I'm renewing an acoustic guitar top.
I took off the old rotten one.
It was glued with fish glue.
Thin hues of glue can still be seen on the kerfed linings.

Do I have to sand everything down to the wood or may I use the new top
glued on those thin remnants? I want to use fish glue again.
Does it dissolve the old traces?

Like hide glue, fish glue will adhere to itself. Just prep the surface well so that you have a tight fitting joint ... and don't worry about any minor residue and you'll be fine.
