Default RE: Questions on CA Hinges

don't use CA on the CA hinges
mmm.. unless you're young and super dooper fast, fast or love the art of re sloting hinge slots.

I don't know...i like my control surface to be posistion as perfect as posisable.
By the time you set the CA bottle down...it's too late to adjust it.lol

You know how they say...apply CA to wood to make the wood hard...in the build process.
Will if you makie the hinges hard and then have a crazy notion of wanting to flex it a million times after.
I imagine a crack will develope.

I never had any problems with them in my .60 size model.
mmm..I don't know...I make extra slots here and there and prepare the hinge area accordingly.

Just makeusre it's done properly. Makesure the slots are clean...especially if you're using an exto knife.
Sometimes there's small slices of wood in there....so the glue will only bond to that slice.
That's where tooth pick or pins comes in to play.
