Hi Joseph:
If it was a polyester finish, you'd be able to use acetone, but obviously this won't work with lacquer. You will have to sand it off and re-satinize the surface to match the sheen. I would put clear tape around the area and use maybe 600 wet/dry paper to level the surface. If the glue is very thin, you won't need the tape. Use a hard, flat block to sand. Sand it very carefully, lest you go through the finish. Then go to 1200 or even finer. Alternatively, you could use a razor blade to scrape the surface to remove the glue, then sand. You can use very fine pumice powder on a damp sponge to bring back the satin to match the original finish. However, if you have a matte finish, nothing will match by rubbing it out, you'd have to spray with matte lacquer, and it probably won't blend, so refinishing in that case might be necessary. Or at least a coat of clear satin (matte) topcoat.
Anyway, that's what I would do. Good luck.

Subject: CA glue spill on finish?
Hey guys, sorry if this is off topic.
I was gluing in a rubber bumper on a grand lid and the CA glue splashed out of the hole.
This caused a splash mark on the finish that needs repair.
It is a black satin lacquer finish.
Any help or comments would be great!
