Default wildhare hinge glue?

I'm sure this has been covered before but I was looking for some quick info on the preferred glue for these hinge points. Does the gorrilla/polyu glue do well or is epoxy the better choice?

Thanks for the help,
craig

I used the poly on mine. Worked fine for me.

Gorilla or poly is best in a hole where the surfaces may not all touch like Robart hinge points. The glue foams and fills all the voids.

I've used the Pro Bond Ultimate polyurethane, but not the Gorilla yet. I like the way the urethanes surround the hinge and ooze back a little, letting you know that the hinge point is surrounded.

Just keep some acetone on hand for cleaning as you go along. Also check the hinges as the glue is drying so you can clean up any that oozes out of the hole. The stuff holds just great!
