I think we've all had this problem and got round it one way or
another. However, IMHO it is best to fit the hinges on first using skin
pins and let the flox cure with the hinges still fixed to the straight
edge, before pulling the rivets. This way you won't distort the hinges if
the flange is not perfectly flat. Less likely for resin to be squashed out
of the flox and into the hinge pins this way too.
