Default RE: Glue for hinges

Canopy glue, Pacer hinge glue, or Titebond II all work well, easy water cleanup, no standing around watching the foam, just put vaseline on hinge area with toothpick, put glue in hole and on the hinge point, wipe off excess after insertion with a wet Q tip, flex control surface to align the hinges and you are done. Next morning go fly. Have used them on up to 1/4 scale with no problem. Wild horses couldn't pull the sucker off.
I have used all 3 types and really can't tell the diff with out some destructive testing. I have a problem with shelf life of canopy and hinge glue, so Titebond II is really my choice, since I keep a quantity on hand.
