CA (superglue) or Epoxy are the only ways to glue Resin

Hi antoniazzip

The problem is, the brand's will vary from country to country...

Bostik, Loctite and Araldite are pretty international and are all good brands.

Hope this helps

The Zap -a-Gap line of superglues are designed and packaged withthe model builder in mind. Their drying time is very fast, as all superglues and iare dependent to some degree on the thickness of the application and the ambient temperature and humidity. They can be made to set instantly with accelerator, such as Zip Kicker.
Epoxies will cure regardless of temperature and humidity, but has much longer setting times, uksually starting near 5 minutes.
Superglue
Pros: very fast bond,
con; Dries harder than the surrounding surfacing making clean up touchy, will bond skin, little shear strength

Epoxy:
Pro: Slow drying time allows positioning of parts, easy clean up before it sets, good strength, easily sanded, sanding ma be minimal due to being able to smooth it out before if cures
Con: Slow drying time means holding parts together, equal parts must be mixed to cure porperly
