Resin building kit help

Hi;

   Having done this at the R.R. Museum , definitely go the epoxy route ! .

Thanks for the suggestions.  I think I'm going to try a 5 minute 2 part epoxy

Or epoxy. Nothing else works nearly as well.

 

I use CA glue for resin as well. Just make sure you test fit, once its glue, it can be a real pain to un stick it.

If there are any thin pieces, handle with care as they can be brittle.

Wet sanding using hardware store type wet/dry sandpaper will help keep the dust down. I attach a piece of wet/dry to a sheet of plexiglass with contact cement and sand at the kitchen sink. This facilitates straight and flat gluing surfaces. Sand in a circular or figure-8 motion and swap hand positions to help maintain even sanding pressure

Cutting and sanding resin produces a fine dust which is harmful to your respiratory system.  If you're working resin, you should cut and sand while wearing a respirator or dust mask.   

I prefer to use super glue (cyanoacrylate).  You can also use two-part epoxy.  Regular model glues will not adhere to resin.
