superglue spill on french polish

I've got a guitar in for repair which has had some super glue spilt on to the French polished top. It looks like thin superglue as it has run in a line from the back of the bridge to the edge of the lower bout.

What's the best way to fix this?

Thinking of sanding the s.glue with wet+dry fine paper, hopefully it hasn't burn't it's way thru all of the french polish. Then just working some f.p into the area.

You might try scraping it with a razor blade as if it were a drop fill. If you are really careful you will get better result than sanding. Sanding will kinda lump over the glue and sand the top more.
