I was just looking for other alternatives that I could use in place of the CA glue for the foam/wood side of the hinge. Thin CA is used for its wicking properties so that it will soak up all through the hinge and make a good bond. I figured that the Gorrilla glue with its foaming properties would expand and fill all voids and totally saturate the hinge material, Not in the same way but with the same results of the CA glue. Does anybody think that this will not be of sufficiant strength to handle hinge loading?
Thanks for all the replies so far.

Since I have developed a severe reaction to CA glues I have more or less returned to the "old" ways of attaching hinges. My suggestion is that you work in a warm layer of epoxy or Titebond (makes it thinner) then insert the hinge (I sometimes slightly enlarge the slot). If you are worried about the hinge's strength you may want to pin the outer and inner hinges. No need for it on the others.
