Default RE: just say no to CA hinges!

lgodin-RCU:

Why would you use a grease pencil anywhere near a CA hinge? Glue does not stick to grease! Also, grease does not make plastic flex (a CA hinge is a form of plastic that is coated with material that will make the CA glue adhere to itself and wood). Grease is used on metal, not plastic. There's nothing that will make plastic more flexible (except heat, but then again if you use heat on plastic your going to make the plastic change properties). I'm sorry, but I just don't see your thinking on this. I'm not trying to flame you or be a smart as@, but again, grease does not make plastic flex or bend any easier. It's impossible.

I used them on my first build of this plane, even used a grease pencil to keep em flexing
