Hey Sammy,
You may be able to remove all the gue and glue stains with lacquer thinners. I bought two "model-3" Haluk ouds that had badly made and badly fitted
mizraplek, so had to replace both. The lacquer thinners worked for me.
The sweat stains look normal for an oud with an unfinished face. I would leave them.
Regards,
Greg

Use it sparingly Sammy, because you don't want the stain to spread. I just used it to soften the glue and then carefully scraped it off. When you have
the bulk of it off, you should then be able to rub the rest off with a thinners dampened cloth. Good luck.
