With the nylon hinges I pin them because there is the worry of not getting the mechanical joint like you should. The thing is though that the glue in both hinge types is much stronger than the holding power of any pin, so unless the glue breaks loose the pin is completely unneeded.
And I have had epoxy come loose or I didn't get it in the slot as well as I thought, most likely my not getting it in there well enough. Anyway, the hinge was still in there piviting on the pin. It could have been when I tried thick CA on the hinges?? Been a long time but I'm sure it was my bad.
Wish Pacer would start making there hinge glue again. The stuff called hinge glue at my LHS isn't very good. I have been having good results with the new Gorilla glue but I pin them when using that.
