Removing Glue From Carbon Fiber

Cuemakers,

I recently acquired a new Mezz Ignite cue shaft. I noticed a small drop of glue a few inches below the tip after removing it from the factory sleeve. I sent an e-mail to Mezz inquiring about their approved/recommended method for removing the wayward adhesive from the shaft. They replied with an apology and an image of of a knife held parallel with the shaft. They said to remove the glue gently with the knife. I would like to hear your thoughts/opinions concerning this or other ways to remove the glue.

Thanks,
Keith

I like the first suggestion; gently scrape it off with a sharp blade and wet sand spot if you have to followed by finishing compounds. :) No acetone.

So I wanted to see if anything new has come up for getting glue off of a carbon fiber shaft, I have a revo and when the tip got installed it has some glue on the shaft and it drives me nuts.
 
Acetone is your ticket, Just Use good ventilation and gloves with acetone, it is a carcinogen
