I like epoxy, but I think my kind is being bumped out by Gorilla Glue.

I don't do anything special other than cleaning the hinges with alcohol and roughing them a bit with sandpaper before I glue them in.

I'll use epoxy on flat hinges, and GG on Robarts. Can't go wrong with either epoxy or GG.

Aeropoxy or Hysol (depending on which one I have in the gun at the time). Easy, quick and clean - oh - and it works real well too.

Yes, just moisten it, to open up the pores of the wood.

Gorilla Glue for hinge points. Epoxy for flats.
