It'll work ok. I'd wick some thin ca around as much as you can to be on the safe side

Foam Safe C/A is just C/A without the odor. Lots of guys with C/A alergies use it because of less fumes. It does tend to take a bit longer to set, but a little kicker will help. It also cost about twice as much as regular C/A

Your plane is ruined.

Just kidding. Let glue dry and it be fine.

CA dosen't dry, it catalizes due to trace moisture in the surface to be glued but foam safe needs a little help in that process. As Terry said, use a little kicker and you'll be fine.
