Hello I am currently building a brass scorpion and I was wondering what would be the strongest glue (fragile legs) that i could find in Canada that s resin safe; I have permatex and lepage 2 part epoxies around but i hear bad reviews about em and I am not sure if they are okay for resin.

Thanks

I use Zap. My Avenger is still in 1 piece. Also, when you put big models together remember to pin them as well.

Cheers

Superglue is fine for resin.

So are epoxy adhesives (they are just messier).

Remember to pin the joints, and use GS where needed - as superglue really prefers intimate contact between surfaces. The larger the gap, the weaker the bond.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Loctite. Nothing better.
On page 11 of my Warhound guide (see signature) I test a few bonding agents on FW resin.
Loctite 416 is what I now use.
