Default CA Glue Mess!

Just starting to trail fit parts on a UStik120 with the CA hinges with a center slot cut out.
When you pin a hinge into position, do you really just use a 'T' with point and all and stick it in sufficient to penetrate the hinge but not exit the other side of hinge point? Do you drill a tiny lead hole or is it not necessary? Do you try to put any Ca on in the pin/hole when you insert it.

The vertical fin has a poor fit to top of fuse leaving a 32nd to 16th space in aft part of fin. Any thoughts? They instruct to install hor stab before vert fin. If it should be pinned guess you would do thru the hor. What type size of pin material would you use for this type of mod /reconstruct of new contruction?
