Resine glue?

[kabaakaba]

I have few resie minis and use cianacrilate glue last time, and it's works bad. it's don't hold and easily breaks apart. also it's dry way to long. what glue do you use for resine kits?

I use dollar store super glue that comes in a bottle with a brush applicator. Super Glue works best on a rough surface, so a rough sand, or simply scoring both sides with your hobby knife prior to gluing will aid in a stronger bond. If you really, REALLY dont want bits to come off, you can drill and insert a pin to further hold the pieces together. Brass rod, and paper clips are common choices for this.

If you haven't, wash the resin in soap and water before gluing and painting. Unwashed resin can prevent cyanoacrylate glue from hardening properly.

Liquid Loctite. That is cyanoacrylate, but the liquid part is the key. Glue jel is horrible, liquid glue locks the parts down in a few seconds.

My experience using super glue got way better when I started using this stuff….

Just don’t get super glue on your hand and accidentally spray this on it.  It burns.  I know.

My experience is the opposite. I really like the gel superglue by Gorilla Glue, its my go-to for assembling Forge World resin items.

Gorilla Glue must hate me then, because that is exactly what I was thinking of talking about how bad the gel stuff is. Gorilla Glue gel is a huge pain whenever I use it... Takes forever to get a good hold. Liquid stuff on the other hand is like super fast super strong bond.
