Yeah you hang around the right crowd for sure.

I was just at the hardware store before I read your post. They had two injection needle glue systems there. One was like an elephant needle, a 1/16 or so thick. Then they had a really thin one that only CA would flow through. With your idea I could use the thin one and heat the Epoxy. Then I don't have to drill these huge holes along the hinge point, possibly damaging it, in addition to removing preciously needed wood from the area.
