The steam do nothing to CA glue.
If you need to bend it a lot where its glued it might crack a bit tho.
Still not a big problem.

I'm new to this but I've built R/C sailboats for years and I use super glue to seal/waterproof exposed wood. It works great. Because of this I would suspect that it would stop the steam from penetrating that area. That said, I have read that it's more the heat than the steam that allows you to bend the wood. Just my $.01 worth.

Steam is fine John, dry heat it and it will burn your eyes out and poison you.
