put a drop of oil on the hinge pin area.(I just use 3 in one) do not be chincy with the glue. if a little does not show when you insert the hinge, how do you know its actually bonded? real pain to pull the surface later and re bond a hinge. little alcohol on a paper towel cleans up whatever squishes out. as the glue sets deflect the surface occasionally to max deflection both directions. has always worked for me.
