Six days ago, I completed a platinum Baron with alternate lapis and I used CA to fix a too-loose cap. I let it sit for an hour or so and then capped & boxed the completed pen. I was checking the stock today before giving to the customer this weekend and the platinum nib holder had a "powdery" residue on it. I replaced the holder with a new one from another kit. The residue would not wipe off with a wet paper towel but it did buff off no problems. Sorry but forgot to get a photo before I buffed it.
What I'm worried about it is a reoccurrence when it gets in the hands of the customer!
Questions:
Thanks in advance!
Edit to add...to be clearer, I used CA to glue the clip/top-cap assembly in the cap tube.

Questions:
- Do you think the CA outgassing caused the residue?
- If so, how long would you let the CA cure before capping the pen?
Thanks in advance!
