Default RE: Glue for hinges

For what it's worth- I bought Gorilla glue and had a terrible time with it foaming and pushing back. Worth it if it works....hasn't failed in my airplane yet (a lightly loaded trainer.) I did a test between Gorilla glue and Titebond by gluing 2 small boards together face to face, edge to edge, and end to end. I put the pieces outside fully exposed to the elements. After about 3 months the end to end Gorilla glue joint failed (cracked and separated). All other joints held up. All Titebond held up. A sad note- my bottle of (expensive!) Gorilla glue hardened in the bottle and I had to throw it away. Long story short- I am back to using 30 min epoxy. A drop of oil on the pin and wipe excess with alcohol or acetone. I would be interested in any other method.
