You have to test fit things before you apply that otherwise you'll go through some problems and a mess. Zap a Gap will fog things up so be careful to use around chrome or clear parts. I only use this to glue photo etch or some plastic to plastic parts that I dont trust regular modelers glue to get the job done (such as chopping up the chassis/parts to lower the ride height). I used Tamiya putty to cover up areas on my resin kits and it worked great. Unless you're on top of your game I'd say just practice patience and avoid glue messes.

It doesn't cure that fast on it's own (though it is faster than ancient styrene tube glue), and if you use the accelerator the fogging will not happen (I've been using it for nearly 2 decades this way, fogging has not been an issue whatsoever). For small filling jobs it's much better than waiting for putty to dry, doesn't matter if it's plastic or resin you're filling. You don't have to have glue on parts to test fit them. Dry fit first to see how it fits...
then use glue...
