Default RE: Gorilla Glue for CA Hinges

I use it with the Dubro hinges all the time with no failures to date. Last night as a matter of fact.
A trick I do is take a syringe and flatten the nose with some heat so I get a small slit in the end and can shove it in the groove and squish the glue in.
I also punch a hole in the hinge to act as a pin when the glue kicks.
The nice part about the GG is that when it kicks usually it doesn't stick all that well to the covering. Usually I try to time the glueing to be the last thing I do before I go to bed and in the am I work the hinges back and forth to loosen things up a bit, followed by needle nose pliers to pop the goober out.

One key step I didn't mention is using vasalene at the actual hinge point so the glue won't seep in and lock the whole thing down. Got that one the hard way.
