Ditto to what Gino said.
I've found that SuperGlue (Thin type) works the best. LockTite as
a superglue (aka CA) thats in a angled bottle with a brush applicator
which works like a charm. Use plenty of ventilation. Some
people don't know their allergic to CA's or epoxies until they use
them. CA's (Superglue) you don't have to mess with mixing two parts but
you do have to be careful not to glue yourself together or yourself to
the parts. I hate it when that happens. Hee-hee!
Depending on the resin kit, you may want to wash it with a mild soapy
solution with Dawn prior to use just in case theirs any kind of mold
release resindue left on the model. If you sand, it's good to
have a small bowl of water to dampen the area to wet sand.
Reapairs on resin parts are o.k. Not quite as forgiving as the
styrene kits. (Thermoset v.s. thermoplastic) Resin parts
can be very brittle. They just take a different technique.
I use the Superglue and Squdron Putty for repairs. After you
build your first kit, you will have gotten the feel and hang of
things. They're just as fun though. You'll be fine.
Build on!
