RE: Correcting loose hinge
Let me rephrase what I said about the glue. When I stated it dries like silicone, I meant it is not brittle, does not dry solid like epoxy, but is very ridgid. The product is Formula 560 Part# PT-56. It is the exact same as the old hinge glue. I called the manufacturer (ZAP) and asked about the product, because I didn't like working with epoxy due to clean up and the Gorilla glue foaming action didn't appeal to me either, I'm sure it's a great product. ZAP discontinued the product because they bottled the glue as Hinge glue and also Canopy glue, the only difference was the color when dried. The hinge glue dried to a beige color. It wasn't profitable to bottle the glue in two seperate bottles. I also talked to the East coast distributor directly and he is a RC flier also who uses the product.. All this info was my direct talking to the Manufacturer and Distributor. I also did my searches on this site and there are a large number of people using this on there large scale planes. I did a test piece on some balsa and glued it in, and tried to pull it out. The results was that the hinge did not seperate from the wood, the wood broke with all the hinge still intact. I'm hoping this explantion of the glue will also help others.
Thanks for the inputs,
Pat
