If you use an epoxy putty like Milliput, Tamiya Epoxy, A+B, etc. (I
don't know what Magic Sculpt is, sorry) then you shouldn't have a
problem. Its at least as hard as the resin and should bond relatively
well. Using an armature or an alignment rod will also do the trick and
provide even more strength in the join.
