Hey Slayer that flame top is popping nicely. With the glue mark worth trying to remove it before you go any further. Get a small wire brush bit bigger than a toothbrush and scrub the affected area. Also others have had success with Goof Off or other glue remover products. You will need to re-sand the affected area, re-stain, You still have to clean up the binding so best have a good look for other glue spots where the stain hasn't taken.
Best of luck. Got Hardwired cranking as I type this ! I love it !
