I like to pin my models to milk bottle tops for painting. Usually no glue is needed to hold them in place, but when it is I apply a dollop of PVA to the underside of the bottle cap when the pins are already in place. It’ll take a few hours to dry properly and you might need to balance your model up side down for this, but it works well and the PVA peels of easily when you are ready. measure up suitable pin holes in your resin bases before any paint touches anything and you ca then just transfer them straight over.
