RE: E 6000 for nylon hinges?
Mike:
It is an all purpose type of adhesive (at least that is what I would call it) that was being discussed in another thread concerning which glue to use to attach canopies.
Jeff:
I just picked some up today to experiment with. I made up a test hinge slot and used it to glue in one hinge. I decided right away that I do not like it for this use. It is too difficult to get into the slot. I just gave it to the wife to use around the house.

That is great stuff to use for your canopies I have used this to mount throttle servos and even battery packs. I use a hot spatula type tool to remove these things.If you don't it will tear the wood .It really adhears well.. When you use it for your canopy, if there is a little slopy ,let it dry then you can rub it off with your finger.. household goop is good to use also

Guess I'm too dumb to know what E 6000 is. Ford Pickup maybe?

Here's a page with E6000 info

I do not know if it has silicone in it but it sort of looks like silicone after it cures. I agree that it's probably too thick to use for hinges but it seems to glue just about anything to anything. The TDS says Gasoline will dissolve it.

I did a test by cutting a hinge slot in a piece of scrap balsa and gluing in a hinge using the E 6000. I gave it about 48 hours to cure. The hinge pulled out with little effort and what little glue was stuck to the hinge itself rubbed out easily. I may use it for a canopy, but for hinges I'll stick with ProBond or 30 min. epoxy.
