I agree with caffenman. Righr now I'm hinging a Goldberg Ultimate and am using Du Bro pinned hinges. While working in my rather cool work shop I decided to set the bottles of epoxy on my space heater for a few minutes. Once warmed up it really runs into the slots easily with a little help from a tooth pick. I just kept shoving it into the slot and wiped off the excess glue with a towel as mentioned. thehinges went in real slick and seem to very solidly in place. FWIW
