Thanks for the great replies. Very informative.

One other question:

If a CA hinge comes out of socket, what is the best way to repair this, assuming the remaining 3 or 4 are still holding? Removing the old glued in hinges would be a challenge. Then, where do you mount the new hinge? Is there a way to clean out the old sockets in prep for new hings or must you cut new slots in difference locations?
What I do is cut the hinges off and install [link=http://www3.towerhobbis.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXK117&P=0]this type of hinges[/link]. With them you only need a hole (not a long slot) and I think they are better anyway.
