Bushwacked Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I have these barrel hinges for a little ring box I am making. Ruined the first round because I tried CA glue and it got into the hinge mechanism and clogged it all up. Assuming I just put too much in there … but is CA glue still the best idea to glue them in? this was after I ruined it and drilled out that hinge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Just my 2 worth.. I'd rather have a small amount of epoxy and a full cure. I simply think that will hold up better over time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushwacked Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) ended up redoing the top piece that was ruined ... went with some gorilla epoxy, as it was at HD and I could get it right then. Dabbed it into the hole with a smaller dowel and then rubbed the edges a little with it. The hinges seem to be stuck in there pretty good now ... what a pain in the ass!! Took way more time than it should have haha. Guess next time I need to go with different hinges if its going to be that small, or upgrade to bigger hinges with the actual screw you can use to tighten. Thanks for the help guys!

I just went with 2 coats of shellac ... had a little bit left in the can and worked out to be just enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
