What are the Best Glues for Resin Figures/Kits?

Post by RobRomero »

I’m looking for Recommended Glues (inexpensive preferably) for Resin Figures/Kits?
Can I use Styrene glues in a pinch?
How about Weld-On #16?

-Also I bought a Resin Kit that has some metal parts -what kind of adhesive would be best to glue resin to metal?

Thanks!

For figures I always pin the joints, adds extra surface area. As for glue, CA glue has never let me down with resin.

Any thing else for Resin & Metal? I hear CA becomes brittle after a while.

Ca glues and 2 part epoxy is what I use for all my resin pieces

Two part epoxy is another adhesive you could use but even this is like CA glue and can degrade /crack over time. If what your constructing will have minimal handling after you have built it then CA or epoxy should be fine for resin and metal mixed construction. If its an all metal kit you could try soldering it like train buffs assemble there kit coaches/trucks or locomotives or there are liquid metal in a tube type glues out too.
