Default RE: CA Hinges in gassers - Hinge failures

I have experienced hinge cracking and I believe it was due to over saturation of thin CA. One drop on each side, and no zip kicker seems to work best. I pin the hinges with cocktail tooth picks, and trim the excess flush with a pair of dykes. Grind the back side of the dykes down so that the cutting edge is a single bevel and you will get a perfectly flush cut everytime.
