Default CA Residue on Servo

I recently got an ARF and before mounting the servo's etc I ran a think bead of medium CA along a couple of joins on the radio tray that werent up to par.

I let the CA sit for a good hour or so then installed the servos into the radio tray.

When I checked the next day there was a white frosting over one of the servo's from the CA.

Will this harm the servo internally?

The servo's were standard HS-311's

Cheers

No. You may even be able to wipe it off. This film adheres to plastic when in the presence of drying CA. It will be visible on canopies as well, when clued on with CA, a reason I don't use it for canopies.

Hahaha.
Well I hope my thumb works ok.
Going to be a shame if it doesnt.

Its only a cheap trainer tho so if it lawn darts it's only $100.
