securing things to ring bases?

[girlreanimated.livejournal.com]

I just bought a bunch of ring bases off Ebay and am super excited to start creating some fabulous rings! However, I'm unsure of what to use in order to make sure whatever I put on them stays on. I tried making one with tacky glue and the button I glued on came off almost immediately; my roommates melted off when she was making tea. =( What would you girls recommend? Resin? or Superglue? or Hot glue? Something else?

I'd appreciate the help. Thanks!
