the link says it will, but that's better than cutting the spot out and patching it up

time to go get some Acetone

I would try to dilute some acetone into water. Or try a little dishwashing soap mixed with some hydrogen peroxide (over the counter stuff, not research grade stuff!) Just mix a little hydrogen peroxide into the dishwashing soap and give that a try.

In most instances nail polish remover is acetone.

There are alternatives, but for the most part acetone is the solvent in nail polish remover.

Goof Off is another option. If one doesn't get it, the other usually will.

I agree that superglue remover is your best bet. If you don't have that available, acetone is a good choice. In fact, I just checked my superglue remover (assuming your superglue is the cyanoacrylate kind) and it is pretty much just a mixture of acetone and nitromethane.

Nailpolish remover is also a good bet if you don't have pure acetone since it is either acetone or MEK, which is very similar to acetone but a little less volatile.
