Default Nylon hinges

With the nylon hinges what can you use so the glue does not stick to the middle. Will Wd 40 work?

I take a small can (like a tuna fish can ) add some vaseline in it. With a heat gun or hair dryer, heat it up until it is in liquid form. Fold the hinge so that it remains open 45 degrees or more. Dip the knuckle of the hinge in the vaseline. The vaseline will flow completely into and around the knuckle. You may need to heat the vaseline every now and then to keep it from becoming to thick. Be careful not to dip the hinge so far in as to cover any part of your glueing surface. Set each hinge aside and let the vaseline cool down. It works great

I like that idea RichyP

Sounds much easier than the way I use to do it - crayon or candle rubbed across the knuckle of the hinge.

Richy, Thats a brilliant idea! I always used vaseline straight from the container...
