As mentioned above, the CA (thin only) is applied to the hinges after everything is in place and you have the control surface where you want it. Just to clarify, that means you do not glue the hinges to the control surface prior to installing it to the plane. Push a straight pin through the center of each hinge before inserting them so when everything is assembled the hinges will be centered between the control surface and the trailing edge. Be sure to pull the pins out before applying the CA. As far as using the heat gun to melt the epoxy on the torque rod, you're probably gonna melt off any covering in the area also.
