Tom:
Most hobby shops have it under their own store name.  Bob Smith puts the
hobby shop name on the bottle as a way to help stores.....  I also carry it
here at Radio South.

viewed the foam from the back side after the hinges were installed. With
1/4" facing I didn't see any damage to the foam. The CA quickly soaks into
the hinge material and balsa and in my experiments didn't attack the foam.
Of course, I guess it may depend on how much CA is used, but if you use
enough to soak through and attack the foam then you're probably using too
much.

fine. Do make sure that the CA is fresh though, thin CA tends to not soak in
as well once it starts to age. Hinging surfaces is one time I won't settle
for using an aging bottle of CA. My experience is that the Super Thin Zap is
excellent for hinging because it soaks in so well.

surface before gluing. If you try to do one side at a time, say put the
hinges in the elevator and glue them, then install the elevator to the
horizontal stab, the CA will seal the porous surface material of the hinge
and it will not wick properly.

core parts. You can use a pin in the center of the hinge to keep it centered
while pushing it into the mating surface. Draw a line on the center of the
hinge so you can verify it is centered before gluing. Take the pin out
before you put the CA on.

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.

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.
