Most any drill will work… don’t need a special drill bit. And Easy Cast is probably a little softer than regular epoxy resins (and than polyester resins too), so it might be even a little easier to drill.
The best glue is probably a 2-part epoxy *glue* (Devcon 2 Ton 30-min set is a very clear one), but other kinds of glue could work if the join won’t be stressed too much (E6000, a strong white glue like Weldbond, etc.).
