CA Hinge Question.... need input
Hi Ernie Miser,I put a pin in the center of the hinge so it will center,after both parts are together I remove the pin,flex the control more than I'll ever use then put about 6 or 7 drops on each hinge ,then on the other side will use the same amount of ca,I've never removed the covering,and never drilled a hole in the hinge,I cover the hinge gap with covering,tape or clear silicone,my experience with ca hinges,is if the hinge gap is to tight the hinge will pull out of the wood or the stress of flexing against a strain will cause them to break.Been using ca hinges since they first came out up to 18 # planes ,so far I've had no problems.
