One thing I would like to clarify; epoxy is a two part adhesive. Resin is just one half and, by itself, won't bond anything. You have to mix it with a catalyst/hardener for it to actually set up. Some use a matched set of chemicals while others use one resin with an assortment of different hardeners.

I am confused. SO epoxy glue is not a two part adhesive also? I mean, what are you trying to say? both Resin and Epoxy glue (30 minute), there are two parts to them. one without the other, it will not adhere. What Am I missing here?

I have been using Epoxy glues since 1970's, and always, there are two parts to them. I am interested to hear what you are trying to say, otherwise, i am just not understanding what you are trying to say, and for that, forgive me.
