Default Robart Pin Hinge Question

I haven't met this person here yet. I say this because it seems that He must be a member since He mentioned these forums. In the videos He doesn't want you to put grease on the hinges prior to installing them. But the instructions I have say to put grease on the hinges before epoxying them into the plane. While He does explain why He doesn't want you to do this. My Dad and I like to stick as close to the instructions as possible. Whenever we haft to deviate from the instructions we feel a little leary.

If Jim is reading this: Thank you for posting your videos.

Since I may haft to deviate from the instructions, i wanted to double check with my other RC friends before following his advice. Because once you glue them in your stuck. Also He mentions mould release, which is left over from when the Hinges were made. There is nothing in the Robart instructions about pre cleaning them before glueing them. Once agan, I'm not saying He's wrong. I just would like to know where He discovered this. Why doesn't Robart Mention this?
