Greetings, 
    I don't think it is a moisture dependant thing, but rather, a surface 
consideration.   I have used a cotton Q-tip to spread some CA and the thing 
started smoking.   I think it has to do with the CA wicking into a matrix that 
allows a lot of surface exposure,(perhaps on the molecular level?).
