Default RE: What glue to use for hinges?

I don't use CA hinges as hinges.

What I do is:

For flat style pin hinges I use the CA hinge to apply epoxy into the previously cut hinge slot, wipe it clean with a paper towel and alchohol then slide the hinge in.

For robart style pin hinges I first put vasoline on the pivot part of the hinge, put 1 1/2 dabs of gorrila glue in the previously drilled hinge hole and push the hing in making sure that hing is correctly rotated to allow proper functionality. For these the hinge hole is usually tight enough to prevent the gorilla glue from expanding outside the hole, instead it expands on the inside creating a gorilla grip on the hinge.
