Yes, drill a hole in the center of the slot for CA to wick into.

In the "CA Hinge Installation How-To" that I wrote, I tell people to drill the hole. Personally, I don't ALWAYS do it, but then, I have enough experience to know when I can get away with NOT doing it.

For anyone who is not VERY familliar with the different types/grades/grains of balsa, it is always a good idea to drill the hole to be SURE that you get a good wicking of the CA

But the hole is only ONE step in insuring that the hinges are installed correctly. I recommend that everyone read it - even if you've installed CA Hinges dozens of times - there is some great information in there
