I just did the same thing, tried epoxy, and several other styrene glues with no luck. I am testing good old Loctite super glue, seems to be holding at the moment. The Repro stuff is hard to work with, very brittle too. I'll keep you posted if it works.

I think Shoe Goo is gonna be your best bet.

Be sure to wash the resin first, there's usually a lot of mold release on those parts.

I think so too.

And I may use it to build the backs of the parts up for strength.

If all else fails use Shoe Goo :crazy:
