Fixing a shiny black plastic handle with gorilla-brand superglue,
I made a sloppy mess of it. It leaked out of the joint and over the

Gorilla glue just does that, it takes experience to apply a small
enough amount to prevent it. It's one of the reasons I don't like it
that much. Dried polyurethane is a tough one to remove- I'd simply
sand it off then use finer and finer paper down to 600-100 grit and
finally plastic polish or auto rubbing compound. Paint remover may
work but is liely to attack plastic.
I don't think you're seeing solvent damage with that particular glue-
I've found the "overflow" relatively easy to scrape/sand away.
