Default Thanks Dennis, Jetts and Leo

I will try the debonder method first, then try the scrapping. I know there are specific rules you need to adhere to when installing CA hinges, but for the life of me I can not keep from getting a slight accummulation at the point of hinging.
I have had guys tell me don't use too much CA ( 2-3 drops at the most) or you will have brittle hinges. Other sources tell to use 5-6 drops to be safe. Doesn't a drop depend on the size of opening in the glue dispenser?

I have used CA hinges on 6 different planes with no apparent failures, but would really like to know the proper and most effective way to install these. What is secret to acheive hinges you can depend on?

Thanks in advance,

Steve
