Also a little rice in the toolbox helps remove the moisture from damp tools

the main thing is to keep it cold below 10C or better below 5C and out of sunlight / UV light / daylight bulbs

CA glue is stabilised against 2 types of cure, one caused by heat/light/self polymerisation by free radicals and another class of stabiliser that protects it from moisture keeping the pH correct

The main cause of CA going off in a bottle is heat and light, most CA is quite stable to moisture levels found in rooms with normal levels of humidity

Fridge is the best place, with the lid on a bottle moisture can not get through most bottles. Most well packaged brands have a coating on the bottle to prevent this
