A simple and very effective
method to prevent epp hinge
failure is to glue in fishing line. A
shallow slot is cut across hinge
line and a piece of fishing line is
inserted. Do this at both ends of
the hinge and at control horn.
It is possible to use many other
filaments. Various threads work
well, nylon, kevlar, etc. If using CA
be careful to avoid the glue
wicking into the pivot. Filament
packing tape also works very well
