Default RE: Robart Hinges, Glue?


Using a small squeeze bottle with a probe attached, I put the probe in the hinge hole, and fill the hole with Elmers yellow aliphatic wood glue..also apply a thin coat on the hinge point, aand gently rotate the hinge while pushing it in....there is no mess to clean up...Install hinges one at a time, as the glue swells the surrounding balsa. I have used this method for years, on giant scale planes of 23#, with no problems...
