Robart Pin Hinge Prep and Installation - Hot Jelly Method w/30min Epoxy

This is an excellent method I've learned to prep and install Robart Point Hinges. There are many ways to do this (oil, chapstick, gorilla glue, hysol, titebond, canopy glue, tape with a hole punched in it, ect) For me, this is the easiest method that gives you a smooth epoxy free pivot point.

Three Basic Prep Steps:
1 - Heat up some Petroleum Jelly in an aluminum can (upside down) until it melts.
2 - Bend the hinge 90 degrees and dip only the hinge in the liquid, do the same for the other side.
3 - Set aside and allow to congeal/solidify again. Now you're ready to install the hinge.
