I could pin it but the hinge point is a little small to nail blind. Also there's so much slop in the hinge hole that it needs to be filled up. The urathane glue is looking like the best solution. I'll have to get some water in there and then the urathane glue, then keep it from oozing out all over the wrong places (especially the hingle jont). I'll probably do multiple holes on the top and bottom. I'll probably put a little drop of oil on the hinge joint to keep it from sticking when the glue is all set up and dry.
Joe - you can skip the wetting of the surfaces and the expansion of the glue will be reduced making it less messy. You can use masking tape next to the hinge to protect your covering and make it easier to remove any excess glue.
