getting ready to put on the bottom of the Seaview sub kit, but if I do that I will seal in a lot of CA fumes that could fog the large clear windows. How long after using the glue should I let the kit air out before I seal it up?

In this situation I will usually put a fan on it OVERNIGHT to make SURE it doesn't fog.

or you could dip all your clear parts in Future first. When dry, it prevents CA fogging. My experience anyhow. Terry

I will back up what Terry said dip it in Future and when dry it will protect the clear parts. Hub
Instead or using CA on your clear parts, use Elmer's Glue or generic white glue. Make sure the parts fit well before assembly.

I think he's referring to the fumes from gluing together the internal cabin assembly, not the clear housing itself.

Curious, which Seaview kit? Chris
If you coat the clear parts with Future and use odorless (non-fogging) super glue that shouldn't be an issue. Another option would be to use five-minute epoxy instead.
FWIW Micro-Mark sells a tube of "Watchmaker's crystal Cement" that works fine. It is clear and holds well and no attack on the plastic.
