Default RE: CA GLUE & EPOXY

If you have CA hinges with that kit, be sure to use thin CA glue for them as the instructions specify... do not use medium or thick CA, and definitely do not use epoxy for CA hinges! The thin CA wicks all throughout the hinge, and gets inside the wood slot to form a good bond. Thick CA or epoxy will not wick into the slots and you'll get no bonding. If you've ever seen a plane flying when it looses some of it's control surfaces (especially an elevator), it's not a pretty site!
