Just to piggyback on this thread (and also give other potential options to Bob et al), are there any other glues other than CA that can be used? Especially ones that could allow you a little 'playtime' for positioning said resin?

Two-part epoxy glue. I would recommend this for any bond involving resin and/or metal that needs to be strong, like the suspension on a tank kit or major hull or fuselage pieces, wings to fuselage, and similar.

You’ll probably have the opposite problem with that than with superglue, though: in the first stage of it setting, it acts more like a lubricant than a glue, so you may find pieces that sit perfectly on top of each other without glue to slide off each other when there’s fresh epoxy between them. Blu-Tack is your friend
