I used superglue to attach some LEDs to an aluminium panel, but some of the
glue

stuck to the front of the LED, anyone know of a suitable substance to
remove the

spots of dried glue on the LEDs, I tried some 'superglue debonder' but
that didn't seem to work. I can't really file it off as that will scratch
the LED when I slip :-()

any ideas, cheers

File or sand without slipping, polish the scratches out afterwards?

Try a sharp knife?

cheers,
clive

Nonono,. Acetone will work, just not very fast.

But it might attack the plastic the LED casing is made from.

I'll have somewhere between 30-60 to do, and I've tried with aknife,
scaple, fingernails, files(needle) .

I'll try nail varnish remover too.
