I've got some broken resin buildings that I need to reattach the pieces to. What product does everyone recommend for this. Is epoxy the only way?

I repaired some broken resin terrain pieces with, as I recall, superglue. They've held up for 10 or more years so far.

Same here. Superglue (I use the gel kind) works well

Same here. Works fine.

I've always had good luck with Elmer's

Liquid Nails Perfect Glue. Superior to a super glue bond by far in my experience. I've put together over half a dozen resin buildings with it. Perfect stuff for resin. You get a "sticky" setup quality with Liquid Nails that allows you so stand up pieces and let them dry, and the stickiness of the wet liquid nails allows for adjustments and re-positioning while it's setting.

For me it's kind of like the resin version of what Testors plastic cement is for plastics. Allows for adjustments while it's setting.

With super glue you can't do any of that, you have to hold the parts together until the bond is formed, and if you're off center you have to yank them apart and do it again.

Get a couple tubes of this, you won't regret it:

I'll give perfect glue a try. I've heard good things about it elsewhere. The lack of set up time with normal super glue was my worry so this should be what I am looking for.
