Then I run the CA down the T-Pins to the hinges. This makes it easy to only run CA on the hinges and not get it all over the surfaces. I just run a couple of drops initially, when it soaks in I run a few more drops. Keep running CA a few drops at a time into the hinges until it no longer wicks into the hinge/wood. Grab the T-Pins with a pair of plyers, give 'em a quick twist and pull them out. If done before the CA sets up with that last application, it fills the holes created by the T-Pins and eliminates any raised area of CA that might have accumulated around the pins.
Let 'em dry good, give them a few flexes to get rid of that bit of surface CA at the flex point and make sure they work. Then you're ready to seal the hinge gaps.
Works for me....
I've always left the pins in too, but never thought to run the CA down the pins. Great tip. That's if I can get the damn bottle turned upside down and the tip on the pin before it runs out on the wing somewhere [:@]!
