Swoop,

C'mon....I've assembled many, many, many planes over the years since these CA hinges were introduced, and have had failures on most of them. I did everything but pat my head and rub my belly to get these to work....they just don't work as promised.

Obviously, you've been lucky, however, this thread would not be here if there was NOT problems with their use, or reliability.

My reasoning?.... Sure, you can't tug them out....but God forbid you start flexing them at a rate un-accustomed to epoxied hinges.
