Default Pacer hinge glue or Gorilla Glue?

I know there is a ton of info on the two but I thought I would ask for a comparison of the two. Which is best for glueing pinned hinges?

I would use the Gorilla glue if, and only if, I could precisely control the amount of glue I needed for every hinge.

Use too much and it bubbles out at the pivot point and you have a mess.

Thats why I use Pacer Hinge Glue.

I really like that Pacer stuff after trying it on my BME Edge 30%. I will probably never use anything else.

I like the goriila glue bc it fills. I use a scrap piece of 2 56 pushrod to work it around in the hinge opening. Then I lubricte the hinge joints really well with vaseline. Then as the glue dries I just watch to clean up any glue that might ooze out. I have found that any glue that does get out wont set well with the vaseline and all you have to do is flake it off.

thanks, for this plane I think I'll use the Pacer stuff and I'll experiment with Gorilla Glue on a less expensive project ( if such a project exist )
