Default Slotting for CA Hinges

Hello Everyone,

I have a question that I feel needs to be asked. After reading a post here, I was thinking about the hinging process that I whent through on my stab and rudder. I used a hinging gadget (from Dubro if not mistaken). Well, thing is I think I may have made the hinges too wide. Not LONG if you understand what I mean. The strips fit inside just fine, but I'm afraid that if I do the ailerons the exact same way, they may fall off!

If I slot the ailerons the same way, should I still use thin CA? Or should I attempt epoxy? As long as I'm on this point, exactly how much thin ca should be put inside the slot or onto the hinge itself? OR (lol) should thin ca be put on the hinge AND inside of the slot?

As usual, all help is much appreciated.
