Before epoxying the barbs into place, apply a tiny drop of light oil or petroleum jelly directly to the center steel knuckle to prevent trailing glue from wicking into the pivot pin track. Use a slow-curing 30-minute epoxy so the adhesive completely sets around the ribbed grooves inside the trailing edge blocks, forming solid internal anchors once cured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 20px 0;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f0f7ff; padding: 12px; border-left: 5px solid #007ace;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 0.95em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Gator-RC Advantage:\u003c\/strong\u003e We source a complete selection of matching high-quality hardware parts so you can stock your workspace from one reliable point.
