Best Glue Option To Attach Resin Part To Turned Aluminum Part

[69NovaYenko]

I have to attach a resin part to a turned aluminum part. I was wondering is C.A. glue the best option or is there a better chose.

Epoxy.

I use CA for almost everything, but Cato speaks the truth. CA will not hold resin to aluminum for long.

For that kind of application, I'm happy using 5 min epoxy from the Zap-A-Gapp pplz.  They call it Z-Poxy.

Thanks for the advise.

Also be aware. A good Cyanoacrylate will work as long as the surfaces are not to smooth. Give the parts a good sanding if you can and the CA will hold better. Be careful with the CA and aluminum, the vapors from the CA will tarnish or fog the bare aluminum. I found that a little car wax on the aluminum is enough to protect it from the vapors. leave it on until the glue is set then buff it out.
