Default Define: WICK for (Eagle 2 ARF)

Hey Folks,,,
I'm building an Eagle 2 ARF, and there's a word that is used in the instruction manual, which I'm having a problem understanding its meaning ... <span style="color: #ff0000"><u>WICK</u></span>.

The manual instructions:
"Although the control surfaces of the Eagle ARF have been glued in at the factory, apply a drop of Instant (thin) CA glue at each hinge location, for added security. Allow the glue to <span style="color: #ff0000"><u>wick </u></span>into the hinge slot."
  1. Now before you answer this question, is it correct that the <u>control surfaces </u>refer to the <u>Ailerons</u>?
  2. And why apply glue to this area when it is already attachedby a small metalrod?
  3. what will happen if I don't apply glue to the control surfaces?
