30 minute epoxy is all I use. I've had problems with gorilla glue on hinges before. Seems like over a period of time gorilla glue lets go if it gets fuel soaked and the hinges will pull out of it.

Epoxy is the glue I have used for years. No problems, and I use alcohol to keep the hinge joint free of any excess glue that might squeeze out. I have not used Gorrilla glue, so dont know of any problems other than what I have read or heard about.

RE: Robart Hinges, Glue?
Using a small squeeze bottle with a probe attached, I put the probe in the hinge hole, and fill the hole with Elmers yellow aliphatic wood glue..also apply a thin coat on the hinge point, aand gently rotate the hinge while pushing it in....there is no mess to clean up...Install hinges one at a time, as the glue swells the surrounding balsa. I have used this method for years, on giant scale planes of 23#, with no problems...
