Does anybody know if spru-goo will work with resin?

[–] wirelesswire@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Your best bet would be CA glue. Second would be 2-part epoxy. Plastic cement/sprue goo works best with polystyrene.

As far as adhesion goes, I haven't really noticed any difference between CA and epoxy. CA has the advantage that it cures super quick when exposed to moisture, so you don't need to hold the pieces in place for very long, but at the same time that's also a disadvantage because unless you're constantly breaking stuff or doing lots of customization that requires glue you'll probably only get to use a tube of CA a handful of times before ambient moisture turns the whole thing into a useless lump.

Yeah, I put CA glue ahead of epoxy since it's easier to work with. You can also get instant set spray to have CA glue cure in seconds.
