Default CA Hinge Question.... need input

Greetings!

When applying the thin CA to CA type hinges, I always seem to use too much glue and find it running along the hinge line and making a mess.

When assembling an elevator to stab for instance, do you guys apply CA to the front and back side of the stab, then turn it over and apply CA to the front and back of the elevator? OR do you just apply the CA to just one side of the stab and turn it over and apply CA to just one side of the elevator.

Also, do most of you trim the covering material away from the slot, or leave covering material intact.

Does anyone drill a small hole in the center of the slot to allow the CA to penetrate better?

Thanks for any input!
