Default RE: Need CA Hinge Help

Im new,
But when I built my plane and installed the hinges, the guy at our local model shop gave me a TINY 1/16" piece of tubing about 6" long just for that little hole you drill. I inserted it into the thin CA bottle then inserted the other end of the little tube into the hole that we are talking about drilled in the center of the slot after the hinge was slipped in. This is supposed to allow the CA to wick in more deeply on the hinge surface and not just get right under the surface of the monokote or whatever. It worked great for me. My hinges are really strong, just an observation.
