Purchased a new Seoul P4, installed it, after a week the LED "bubble" is hardened and clouded. I used crazy glue in my mod and wondering if the vapors caused this or overdriving it too hot? anybody see this happen? also if it is crazy glue causing the problem will the vapors cause the same problem for a new P4 even though the glue is dry now? Thank you!

Sounds like the vapours did it in!
I had the same thing using Locktite 515 master gasket. Ate my reflectors and turned the stuff inside green.

You should be ok if the glue is dry -you can't smell anything anymore?
Does the glue give off more vapour when heated? That would be no good.

Cheers
Dom

Cyanoacrylate fumes will fog most plastics, especially clear plastics. Fogged my RC monster truck's headlight "lenses" that way.:thumbsdow

It's much safer and better to use "odorless" or "non-fogging" or "non-blooming" cyanacrylate glues. My understanding is that the white stuff you get is from microscopic droplets of the glue that float away and redeposit themselves on the materials when the glue is curing. The "fumes" are glue droplets, not solvent.

You can polish away the white stuff on some materials, but not most of the time ...
