no worries Tweaky, better make sure the binding will glue to the epoxy resin as the pores in resin will be almost non existent whereas gluing to timber the glue has much more pores to adhere to

What do you suggest I use as a suitable adhesive in this scenario ?Originally Posted by wokkaboy
I could always texture the surface of the resin that the binding is to be glued to with a file/rasp after it has dried, if it would help adhesion between the two.
For every problem that seems solved, another rears it's head
EDIT: Actually I remember when at the hardware store this afternoon, I ask the sales help if this resin putty would be effected by Acetone [as used when binding] , he said No, but it would be effected by Alcohol.....so, I have 100% Alcohol I could wipe onto the resin to make it tacky, and Acetone to make the binding tacky..... seems some tests with scraps might be needed to see if a light coating with each chemical on their respective reactive base, might make the two adhere to each other without the need of using another third adhesive.
