Zebrawood veneer refinishing

Hi group,
I've finished the cabinet of a Seeburg B I've been restoring.This is
the first time I've worked with zebrawood, hence the
questions/concerns.
As I was gluing on the veneer pieces,several of the edges came loose,
and I re-glued and clamped them to hold the edges down along the sides
of the cabinet edges. I've tried using furniture refinisher and steel
wool to remove the smudged edges where the glue oozed out. It's not
working well. I've also used WD-40 on a rag, as this has worked well in
the past with other veneer jobs. But not with the zebrawood.
I've even tried sanding these areas of glue, but am afraid of sanding
too hard and having the dark lines of the zebrawood disappear in a
cloud of sandpaper dust. Any suggestions as to what others have done to
solve this problem? Thanks, Rob

What kind of glue did you use? That will determine how best to remove it.
I always use contact glue with great success.

HI Rob, I have a M100A that needs refinishing,where did you get your
zebra wood? was it a kit or just panels that you have to cut
yourself ?

Thanks-Dennis.
