This was enough of a possibility, which I had not thought of, for me to stick with the individual hinges. He also suggested that there was little noticeable benefit to having the elevator gap sealed. Back to making my titanium hinges! Thanks for your input.

From observing my tail section in flight (one of the great advantages of open cockpit flying), I don't think there is enough flexure to cause any concern.
