Default RE: pinned hinges


ORIGINAL: mesaflyer
So, do you apply the glue to both sides of the hinge and then slide it in, wiping away the excess?
Thanks
First thing I do is squeeze some glue into the slots that are about to recieve hinges. It's the only step in the process that takes any effort. I often use a straight pin to wipe the glue down into the slot. It won't setup fast because it won't see any air to speak of.

Then I use the bottle and wipe glue on both sides of the hinge, making sure the holes are filled.

Slide it in and feel good about there being excess. Remember when you're taking a second or two wiping that excess, what excess epoxy was like. It often meant you had a screwed hinge. Now, it means nothing, 'cause it wipes off so easily.
