CA

[Bob]

Just a little note about a recent find that aided the application of CA to
the narrowly exposed hinge area.  I found that diabetic syringes, available
at the pharmacy department of any of the big mega stores like Wal-Mart or
grocery stores, allow micro application of the CA in a very controlled
manner.  Thin CA can easily be drawn into the 0.3cc syringe and applied to
the specific hinge site and then the syringe can be trashed.  These syringes
are $12.00 per box of 100 so price is no object.  There are probably many
other shop uses for these syringes that time and experience will reveal.

Do you dry install both sides and then glue? Aileron and wing, elevator and
stab etc.?

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.

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.
