I use Zap Hinge Glue it does not set up immediately, So this gives you time to insure everything is aligned and tight . I think it sets in a couple of hours and is fully cured in 24..
Yes, I use Zap CA too and I think it's just groovy. I prefer super thin CA for this purpose.
One thing:- Not all CA hinges are equal! I think the ones supplied by Seagull are particularly good because they have a central slot that wicks the CA into the depths of the hinge slot. I threw my Great Planes ones away because they were so difficult to saturate.
I use Great Planes CA applicator nozzles that allow you to direct the CA right into the slot and I pump until I can see that the hinge is saturated. CA reacts with cellulose, so you can't be hesitant here. If you apply drops, then they go off immediately and prevent more CA from wicking in; so a steady and "prologed" application is the order of the day. I've taken to covering the Pro-Film with magic tape to stop the CA forming blooms.
I can't see any reason why you couldn't pin the hinges if you really wanted.
