Default Boomerang hinge question

Hi guys,

I'm a little embarrassed to ask this question because I've been in this hobby for more than 36 years and don't know the answer.

I'm building a Boomerang Elan and the instructions say to apply CA to both sides of the circle hinges. I did this on each hinge as I inserted each one into the wing. I then test fit the aileron and withdrew each hinge to just the tip so I could rapidly push the aileron onto the hinges before the CA dried. What puzzled me was how to possibly get CA on BOTH sides before the CA ran off in the wrong direction or dried before I could plunge the hinges in.

I would love some techinques!

I've been flying helis almost exclusively for 10 years so please forgive the ignorance! Thanks!
