Does anyone have experience in installing Rocklers small box hinge http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=16938
On the lid stay, there is a small hole, which I assume is to keep the stay from slipping though the notch after it is installed, but I am not sure if it is just supposed to get a glob of glue in it or what?
Also, I am wonder how the mortise for the stay is supposed to go in. Could I get away with a hole straight down letting the stay flex above the hinge, or should there be a mortise all the way along the lower box wall to the back of the box?
I was amazed that the small barrel hinges (pretty straight forward) came with instructions yet these more complex hinges did not.
Thanks in advance,
Charlie
