Extra 300 xs building
Sound advice on the vasiline.
Neat trick is to heat it up until it is liquid and then bend the hinge in half and dip the pin and hinge area in leaving the area to be glued out.
Also not a bad idea to clean the area to be glued with alcohol first to avoid getting any oils on them.
I used the one's that came with the kit and they survived the pull test.
I am waiting for weather for the real test.
