Default RE: getting epoxy in small areas


ORIGINAL: raron455

I have had a couple questions and had plenty of help from all, and I say thank you for that,, I have another question that someone can help me with,,, it concerns applying epoxy,, How do you epoxy a robart hing in without getting it all over the pivot point,, I dont know how To get any epoxy in the hole that the hinge goes in,,If I just brush epoxy on the hinge when I insert it The epoxy is going to push up the hinge as I insert it, and get in the pivot,, I have done this before and it did not go too well, had to tear the hinges out and use CA,, I have been told epoxying the hinges in is the best and strongest way to do it,, and the plane I am building is a 50cc model,,So here I am again,, asking for advice,,sure its simple to alot of you, but I have only been in the hobby less than a year, and want to do everything I can to do it right,,, Thanks fellas
Actually Gorilla glue is the strongest way to install them.
