I like the hinge points too and have always used Gorilla glue, although using yellow carpenters glue is might tempting. Might even try the Pacers hinge glue if that's what it's for. I also have the 560 canapy glue that is easy to work with. I agree with rajul about using a dremmel cone to countersink--it makes a beautiful round depression that fits the knuckle perfectly. These hinges are so easy to use, I don't know why anyone would every use CA hinges. I bought the drilling jig too--makes it even easier.
