    I recently received a resin figure that had some arms that were glued to the torso. One the arms broke off clean. Should I use a two part epoxy glue, superglue, or something else?

    May I recommend Zap a gap (green label).

    Turns out that I could not get the parts to mate properly (I was gluing back on one of the arms), so the Zap a gap did not work for me. I would up using a two-part epoxy after scoring the two sides with an exacto. Seemed to fill in the gaps.
