DON'T DO IT! This is one that belongs with the "how to clean a focusing screen with a hard toothbrush and rubbing alcohol" and "how to clean a soft-coated lens with ammonia and a lens cloth" posts. Any of these things will ruin a camera. There was a post here, a few years back, about a guy who glued something or other inside his Olympus XA with super glue and the fingerprints on everything he had touched inside the camera, including the rear lens element, turned white. It wouldn't clean off, so he resorted to acetone. Turns out the entire camera was soluable in acetone. It was an all-around disaster. Superglue shouldn't even be in the same room with a camera.
