Default RE: Pinned Hinges ?

OH yeah, you know how people pin hinges with straight pins? I figure it's a real waste of time if you're using hinge glue.

Squeeze the glue into the slot. Smear some on the hinge flat to insure the flat is "treated". Stick the flat into the hole and if any glue squeezes out, smile and wipe it away with a damp Q-tip or paper towel bit.

It wipes away with no effort. That beats epoxy all hollow. And it's 5X easier to use from the gitgo. And it won't glue the hinge rigid if you wipe it away. Epoxy had a habit of invading the hinge itself. Even if this stuff does, flex the hinge, it pops free, and you're good to go.

The only thing easier is gluing a canopy on with canopy glue.
