Default Removing CA from Covering ?

Unfortunately I was not careful and had CA on my fingers when handling my beautiful transparent Showflyer covered with Oracover. What is the best and safest way to remove those nasty CA smears and residues now from the covering ? I have heard about using Monkote Trim Solving, using Acetone, etc. What would work the best, and how do you apply it without damaging or decoloring the covering ? Thanks

Acetone.

It will not "decolor" the covering.
I have used it several times to clean the covering on my trainer before applying patches

But just to be sure, try it on a hidden part of the covering - like where the wing is inside the fuse

Acetone or MonoKote Trim Solvent will work well to remove CA glue from film covering. MonoKote Trim Solvent has some light oil which prevent scratching when use with paper towel. When use Acetone don't use paper towel use cotton cloth or you will see scratch marks when it dry. I have try both with no problem.
