I am using a Glass hinge that I saw on the net. You wet out Fiber
Glass or Kevlar with thin laminating epoxy and blot it dry so it has
the weave open. Then you let it dry between two pieces of wax paper.
Cut your hinge from the coated fabric on a 45 degree angle. You can
apply it with white glue or epoxy and fabric won't wick up the glue.
Makes a great hinge.
