Default Elevator hinge idea

On my current project I was intending to make the stabilizer and elevator 1/8 inch thick. For several reasons including stiffness I had decided to laminate two 1/16 thick pieces. Then the epifany, I hope, why not lay a piece of thin but strong cloth between the balsa sheets and let it serve as a hinge and an extra lamination. A little while ago I epoxied up a trial run. I intend to give it some bench tests tomorrow. Have any of you guys tried something like this? If it seems to work epoxy may not be the best glue. Any suggestions?
