RE: Painters ?????
For Robart type hinges i spot glue dowels in place leaving a gap large enough to get good coverage to leading and trailing edges. Whit pinn type hinges, i sacrifice some hinges by glueing the hinge joint to make it virtually unusable. These are saved for future projects, i have used thin plywood and sheet brass for the same job but it is much faster to sacrifice a few hinges for an instant "paint fixture".
