RE: Building the Cedar Hobbies Pheonix
OK, here we go.
CA hinges must be glued into both sides at the same time. The wicking action of the hinge coating causes the thin CA to travel all over the hinge and into the hinge slot where it can glue the hinge to the wood. If you glue it into one side first, the CA will "use up" the wicking layer on the exposed side. The when you try to glue the exposed side into it's slot, you have no more wicking, poor glue penetration and a bad joint. When you hear of a CA hinge pulling out, it is invariably one that has been installed in one side first and then the other.
Other than that, you are doing a good job of building it as the kit was designed.[8D]
