Hi guys,

I'm working on some Live Resin stuff, you know that company that has those EXECELLENT military stuff !!
What kind of superglue is the best to use ?
I've tried Gator's Grip acrylic Hobby Glue and some superglue for CA.
But both drying times are very slow and the fixation is NOT that great !!
Anyone has some suggestions ?

I have been using Gorilla Super Glue lately and really like it, I have not tried with Live Resin, but I have not had any problems with anything else.

I use Zap A Gap. Drying time for superglue should not be affected by the material being glued, age of the glue and humidity levels and possibly ambient temperature may have an implact. Nor should adhession be affected unless there's a barrier between the glue and the item, such as paint or excessive release agents interfering with the bonding surfaces. The glue's bond tothe paint is stronger than the paint's bond is to the item so you wind up pulling off the paint.
