Jim,
I now use polyester as suggested by Don Hutchinson a few years ago. Installation is so easy it is scary. No more glue, no more pins. I use dope to apply, Don Uses acetone. These hinges are thin, light weight, very strong, and almost invisible. Once you have done it this way, you will not back to any other method.
Here is what Don wrote on the Stuka Forum on 9-18-09:
"I find it much easier to stick the hinges down with dope. Lay about 4 good coats on the edges and about 1/2 inch back onto the surface. I use polyester dress lining material for the hinges, thin and tough. Cut the hinges about 2 inches long by whatever width you choose. Lay the hinge in place and hit it lightly with brush wet with acetone and it is stuck and flat. After they are all on the elev or stab, place the other surface up against it do the acetone thing again. Later, take a new #11 blade and a straight edge and cut just through the hinge material about 1/2 to 5/8 back from the hinge line. A touch of acetone if needed as you peel away the excess hinge material. Slick and quick and if you need to rework a hinge a bit of acetone and it will come right up.
Don"
