The glue was probably reacting to the acetone. People, for whatever reason, think that something is dry then the chemical is no longer present. This is simply untrue. If you Windex a surface and wipe it off with a paper towel you will notice that the "cleaned" surface still smells like Windex. That's because the checmical is still there. After the Amonia evaperates the smell goes away however the rest of the chemicals that made up the cleaner are still on the surface. The same with your acetone. When you added the glue you simply reactivated the acetone. The water and soap break this stuff up and cleaned it off. Always clean your stuff in mild soap and water to remove any and all harsh chemicals or release agents. This is true for Gaming minies as well as Styrene and Resign models. This is always my first step for any project. I usually let the parts soak for a few hours in a warm bath of Water and a small amount of dish soap. Then I start cleaning, assembling, and priming the parts. If I add another chemical to the mix later in the process then clean that part.
I hope this helps.
