I would try to remove the cyanoacrylite with a small knife before
resorting to acetone. Super glue doesn't always bond well. If that
failed, I might try acetone, but I certainly wouldn't wet the camera.
I would apply it sparingly with a fine brush, all the while working
the glue with the knife.

just suppose that you had a friend - yea, let's say a friend, that's

who was a complete dork and accidentally dripped cyanoacrylate
superglue
onto the OK button at the back of his camera (it could, theoretically
speaking and only in your imagination - this could never happen in
the real
world - be an Olympus E-1), such that the button became jammed.
If said imaginary but stupid friend were to try and remove the
superglue
using acetone, what would (theoretically) be the effect on the body
seals
and possibly on the electronics, plastics, etc of this non-existent
but
theoretically possible camera?
In other words, this friend of Homeric dumbness - would he be about to
destroy the rest of his camera if he were to take this next,
apparently
obvious (but he is stupid, remember), step?
Thanks,
Bob (Hey, don't look at me! You think I could be that stupid?)
