Best Method To Hold Pieces In Place While Glue Dries?

Use the resin to glue parts together with a handheld laser pen that is in the 407mn range.
Take a toothpick dip it in the resin tray apply to the parts and then use the laser pen to illuminate the connection point.

I use the laser pen that comes with Bondic. $12 at Walmart or Amazon. You can use the resin that comes with the Bondic.
