What is the recommended way to bond a resin-printed part to a PLA part? (self.3dprinting)

I’m looking for some advice on how to bond a post-processed resin printed piece to a large PLA print. I assume my options are either superglue or maybe brushing resin onto the PLA, attaching the resin print, and hitting it with a UV light?

Is there a better way? Thanks!

And if you don't have easy access to 5 min epoxy, you could go with the super glue + baking soda trick for a similarly strong and hard bond: https://gluetips.com/super-glue-and-baking-soda/
