Could be just the moisture in the wood - I know CA glues cure faster
with more water.

Thats normal for CA glue.. From my model plane building days, those
fumes can quickly irritate your eyes, nose, & upper respiratory
systems so use plenty of ventilation if you are going to use a lot of
it. Also, it gets super hot when setting up so if you happen to glue
your sock to your ankle, you could end up with 3rd degree burns too.
DAMHIKT.
BTW, if your glue wont "kick off", try a light dusting of baking
powder in the joint. The oils in some woods sometimes keep it from
setting up properly and the alkalinity of the baking powder sets off
the reaction.

It will do that with any material if you've used a lot of CA as it is
exothermic when it cures.

Nope, not moisture. As a regular turned of green wood, I can say that with
confidence. It's a difference in chemical composition.

Does it with punky wood, I know. Whatever chemical it found merely
accelerated the curing process.
