    I just purchased my first resin structure (molded in one solid piece).

    Questions: What is the best adhesive for reattaching some of the detail? What is the best filler for the air bubbles? What is the best paint for this material?

    Thanks for your help.

    Cyanoacrylate adhesive works well for resin. Not sure what you'd do about the bubbles. Perhaps someone else will have some more feedback.

    Air bubbles on a surface you can see, or that needs to be painted, can be filled with "Squadron Green" putty. Get it at model airplane Hobby Shops. Its good stuff. I have even used spackeling compound. Both will sand smooth and take paint well. :D

    I have to go along with Watash, the Green putty is the only way to go for filling and covering imprefections in almost anything... The spackling works but is brittle if handled and will evenually come loose. I doubt that the green putty will come loose and if so, it sure took some force to make it come loose!
