CA

[Bob Kane]

Thin. Dry install all the hinges for a particular surface in the slots and make sure they are centered. Bend the surface one way, and put a couple of drops of thin CA in the center of each hinge. The glue should wet out the surface, add thin CA until it stops wicking into the material. Use a tissue or swab to clean any excess CA.  Do the same side of all hinges.  Clean any CA off the parts, turn over, and repeat on the other side of the hinges. 
 
Do not go back and add glue "just to be safe". Once the CA sets, any additional glue will not wick into the surface of the hinge and can create a sharp ridge in the center of the which will lead to failure over time.
 
I have never had a hinge fail using this technique.
