Flaw with a work in progress.

I am finishing an El-Cheepo guitar kit and noticed I small flaw I missed while grain filling.  I have sprayed the 1st layer of color and I hate to sand it off.  I had to custom mix the dyes to get a specific color and NAILED it!  Hence my reluctance to take it all off. 

Could I use super glue to fill the defect and carefully sand?  Or will the chemicals in the glue cause the nitro to run?  I sprayed a small piece of OAK to test this theory but would love some opinion on what I could fill this with.  It must be clear.  I still have to apply a burst and clear to the guitar.

Thanks
 
Shouldn't hurt it. Depending on the defect, it's done by drop-filling, then scraping with a razor to level, then sand to blend. There's a short video on doing it here.
