Default RE: Questions on CA Hinges

One of the most important things to remember about CA hinge installation is NOT to apply the CA twice to a side. Once you have let the 3 to 5 or so drops of CA to wick in, do NOT add more to that side. Go on to do the other side and don't do anything further with the CA. Double additions will only cause the hinge to come apart inside where it had formerly bonded with the balsa. I had that happen to me on my Tiger 60 and ended up re-hinging the ailerons because of it.
