Default how big of gap before I seal the hinges?

I've had my hog bipe on hold for about 2 months out of hinging frustration. First I did CA, and I got the feeling it didn't look like it wicked in right... I tested and was right, pulled 2 ailerons out. Redid them, and got them in good. I was nice and careful to make sure I didn't have much gap. So little in fact that I didn't have enough throw because of the rounded shape of the aileron. I thought about sanding them to a point, but I figured that SIG knew would happen, so why should I think about it?

After that I decided to go with dubro hinges. I've got about a 1/8th inch gap now, but pleanty of throw available this time. Am I going to need to seal these suckers?
