I had some squeeze out when gluing a stone onto a previously friction
polished lid, ca glue. Most distressing. waited a bit till it was
almost solid, scraped it off lightly with a single edge razor blade,
but the finish was then dull. Used a bit of 0000 steel wool to get an
even dull appearance, then re-applied the polish. Back in business.
BTW, this was on purpleheart wood, and some of the squeeze out came
right through the open pores of the wood, a bit of distance away from
the actual place where the stone was set. Surpised me, but thought it's
something to consider when gluing woods like walnut, oak, ash, or
exotic open grained woods.
