super glue on key (alien.top)

i build mini dollhouses, while simultaneously watching youtube on my macbook nearby. last night i seem to have gotten a drop of super glue on one of my number keys which seems pretty stuck. i can’t seem to scrape it off and i’m hesitant on using acetone or any corrosive liquid. can anyone help me decide what i should do to fix it? please keep in mind that i’m a broke college student and i depend on my macbook very much, but i also do not have much money to splurge on unnecessary repairs.

If it is only on the keycap (and has not gone into the keyboard mechanism), my recommendation would be to let it dry. You can always get a replacement keycap off amazon or ebay. A trip to the Apple store may even get you one for free - if they happen to have a dead macbook hanging around out the back.
