So I tried to post about this earlier but my response got lost...sorry if this is a double post!
I know the OP is a little old but I was just going to add: I recently started DW with Russians, and for both the resin and pewter I have had a good experience using thin super glues.
I have used both GW's super glue thin and $2-at-Walmart generic superglue, and both have worked fine holding the pieces together. Not sure about crazy glue, though.
