I think it is the same as resin . You can use CA (superglue) or 2 part exposy.

Do you recommend sanding the surfaces before applying the cyanoacrylate ?

Sanding won't hurt, buit I have not found it necessary. I would go with epoxy ofr larger pieces or where you need to be able to move thepart to set it up. I prefer the Zap-a-Gap lilne of CA glues. Ad when the parts have to stay put right now, i'll aply a drop of accellerator.
