Please Note: Calton Cases feature interior support foam and velvet lining secured with adhesives, some of which need time to off-gas. During production, each case undergoes two 24-hour adhesive drying stages to reduce odor, but commonly this process needs more time. If you notice any residual glue or solvent odor, Calton Cases and CME suggest keeping the case empty and open in a well-ventilated area for a few days to a week until the odor dissipates.
