Also: 50 coats?!?!! Whoa. The finish looks amazing, so all that patience paid off.

After. Give it 24 hours for the CA to fully set.
Hi jd
I used a razor blade, the one sided type, and scratched way the glue slowly. Then gently sanded the fret.
Worked very well. You can’t see it. (Hint - enlarge the 6th fret near the little white dot)
Compare it to the photo higher in the same page as the final photos.

I have just resolved what I thought was fret rattle which I could not find.
Eventually tracked the noise down to tremolo spring rattle which I had never heard of before.
By the look of YouTube it is not an uncommon occurrence.
I used this solution which I think was the simplest, and seems to have worked well.
The solution is a length of plastic tube 3mm ID. I cut it to the length of the stretched springs in the guitar
