I have recently seen references to the use of demountable hinges to join base boards. I have not seen these eg in B&Q. Can anyone let me know if they are commercially available? If not, do you take the pins out of ordinary hinges? If so, how do you do this and what do use as replacements?

Any advice gratefully received.

Do you mean these loose pin hinges? http://tinyurl.com/dybj79 You can get them at B&Q but not with the handy handle thingy.

is the OP referring to 'permanently-mounted' hinge blocks that enable two boards to swing together when closed?

I think the sight of raised blocks upon which to mount the hinges [to enable the two boards to come together, closed, yet clear scenic items]...is a problem to disguise...one can only have so many large water tanks........................and I believe someone on here posted regarding hinge blocks whch swung out of sight when the boards were erected?
