Hey Verne,

I've had pretty good luck sealing hinges with Blenderm. No real ''tricks'' persay, but if there is one, it's DON'T STRETCH it. I'm careful to attach about 1/8'' to the wing for the entire length and then working from the center of the aileron, with it fully deflected, attach it to the aileron.

The real problem comes AFTER that, in that it when you deflect the surface the other direction, the tape attaches to the inside of the hinge gap and doesn't release well. I've solved that but putting talc into the gap area after attaching the tape so that the talc will cover all the open tacky surfaces of the tape and prevent it from sticking. Never had a problem after that.

Rereading this it's a pretty cryptic description of my process. Give me a shout if you need more.
