I don't know about 'more reliable'.

I use CA hinges, have been using them, and have had only one problem, on my Tiger 60 way back when. I didn't know that I should not have added CA again after the initial application. I ended up re-hinging the plane, with CA hinges, and still fly it.

My Excelleron 90, a pattern plane, Venus II, also a pattern plane, both use the CA hinges without any sort of problems at all. They hold, they function, and they are compltely reliable, as far as I am concerned. I used CA hinges on my Tiger 120 with no problems. I also used them on my Seagull Super Star ailerons, and when I get ready to finish up the tail feathers, will use them on the elevator and rudder.

It all comes down to a matter of what you use and like. I happen to use CA hinges and like them, so I will stick with them. I tried them on scrap as DA Rock did with his setup, and when I pulled them apart, with some difficulty, I might add, a chunk of balsa came out with the hinge.

I don't make recommendations because, as the saying goes, 'different strokes for different folks'. If someone asks, I will tell them.

As far as use of the Pacer glue is concerned, well, DA Rock has a great point. Try it using CA hinges on scrap and see if it works. If it does, then let us know.
