does it work with resin?
My cosplay I just made was falling apart.... thankfully after I got off stage and some kids smashed the charms against my chair.... and some fell off. Super glue and fabric with resin doesn't work. it did at first though.

I'm sorry your charms got smashed! That's sad, I hate it when costumes get beaten and broken, it's happened to me before. If you're looking for a really strong bond on the resin, I wouldn't recommended the Magna-Tac. Try using a two-part epoxy. You can buy this at any hardware store, it's the kind that comes in a double-barreled syringe-looking tube.

Thanks, why didn't I think of this before... I have some but for another outfit that unfortunatley has been put on the shelf for awhile.
Yeah, it sucks when it happens, but thank goodness I will be using something else, Leather! I got some for super cheap that may just do the trick... now I can sit without worry or discomfort. (I had to sit backwards so I wouldn't smash them myself)
I will remember this trick in the future. Thanks so much for always willing to help me out!

You should try it... bit expensive though, but definitely worth it in the end! I found it very fun and durable medium. I found that hobby lobby has the best deals on odds and ends scraps (that i have found so far at least)
I'm happy my charms won't destroy themselves too!

Great tip! Is it good with styrofoam?

It wont work with polystyrene foam (the hard white crumbly stuff, or pink insulation foam). I haven't tried it on craft foam or EVA foam, these are chemically different than polystyrene foam so there's a chance it will work! I'd be curious to give it a try! I hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply!
I recently ended up using Gorilla Glue with styrofoam. It works very well, just takes foreverrrr to hold for it to dry.Β

I would like to know this too! Β All the good craft glue I have melts styrofoam! Β Though, I've been using silicon sealer to glue styrofoam.

I've never tried silicone sealer on Styrofoam. Does it work well?
