<DIV>I’ve always used round wooden toothpicks and wood glue for this Paul.</DIV>

<DIV>I’m assuming you mean the major hinges for the entire lid assembly and not
the long half lid hinge. If there’s only two hinges at this point it won’t
be long and you’ll need to add a third one .... so that might
be a good idea anyway at this point in time before the lid is opened and scribes
an arc across the bottom of it. Last I heard that’s not a widely accepted
decoration idea. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>An additional damage reducer would be to add a lid alignment set up
........ for lack of proper terminology. Some grands have a thick
pin mounted under the lid at the opposite end of the lid from the hinges that
lines up with the appropriate socket mounted on the rim. That would be a
small expense to the school at this point in time compared to the resulting
losses later.</DIV>

see it in there.</DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
