The blank on the left looks quite clean. What works very well is to rest the bottom of the tool against the blank and lean the tool into the blank. The tool heats up the acrylic blank a bit and with a little practice, the blank takes on a shine while turning. The rest of this is going to be a piece of cake.

If after a few minutes it the dot of CA glue still feels tacky, hit it with more accelerant. Sand off the excess.
