>>I'd be real careful doing that. It's possible that the solvent will get into the hinge and soften the bond. Next thing you know, you lose an elevator in the air.
Dennis-


I understand your concern Dennis. In practice though it is almost impossible to loosen up fully cured CA with solvent. It does work marginally enough though to simply get the excess off of the hinge line with a toothbrush.

Also, the greater of the gremlins is sharp pieces of CA left on the hinge line that can cut and cause premature CA hinge failure.

Obviously pinned hinges do not have this problem and Amen to that!
