Super glue - cyanoacrylate - is very brittle and doesn't adhere to most plastics very well (hence the plastic nozzle and cap on most super glue tubes). My advice would be to "very gently" try to scrape the superglue off the LCD. A single sized razor blade might work? I believe the super glue should fracture and come off relatively easily, but you don't want to scratch the LCD's plastic covering. Another alternative would be a plastic scraper which may allow more pressure without scratching the LCD plastic too badly. If you don't have a suitable plastic scraper, the edge of an old credit card sometimes works. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
