Jonathan M Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Not used this hinge type before (only used the fuzzy ones which CA into the slots as per the usual ARTF models). What's the best way of gluing them in without risking getting glue into the knuckle areas? Epoxy pushed down into the slots? Pre-grease the knuckles and pins with vaseline?

Trevor Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Yes, epoxy in the slot, slide the hinge in, but pause with a couple of mm still to go and lubricate the hinge. Some use Vaseline but I use some 58yr old typewriter oil - it came in a glass bottle with a cork with a copper wire applicator in the cork, which is ideal for stroking across the hinge knuckle before you push it fully into the slot - and I don’t plan to lube my typewriter again any time soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leccyflyer Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I use either 30 minute epoxy in the slot, or latterly I've been using Pacer hinge glue and like the ease of use that gives. Still give the hinging part and the pin a coating of vaseline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
