Hey Dennis, sorry to hear of your father's passing.
Regarding the closure and glue, regardless if it's super CA glue just use some mild sand paper (400 grit) on the areas where glue once existed. Wipe down and reapply the CA or apply E6000, the key is ensure you're giving the glue time to cure properly ( CA 30min, E6000 48+hrs).
Frown mesh is similar to a heavy household version window screen material.
Hope this helps
