Sure, do what woodworkers have done for ages. Wipe with some mineral
spirits - something which is not water-soluble - and the remainder will
reveal itself.


Will the mineral spirits affect staining later? If any glue shows up,
can I go back to water and get if off?

Won't affect stains, because you'll let them evaporate before staining.
Oil stains might even contain some.

I'm sure you don't want to go back to water. It's scrape and sand after the
stuff has dried. Be sure and scrape easy and sand one grit back from final
or you'll have a burnished area where the stain won't absorb like the
non-burnished.
