meanwhile in Vietnam

What about using it in an aerosol and ingesting it through the lungs? Or would this present the same obstacle as the resin?

So long as it is in that resin, you are unlikely to get much out of it in terms of radiation exposure.

All depends on how you're making it into an aerosol. This is a pretty heavy metal, remember, if you just reduce it to teensy little particles and blast them into the air, they won't stay suspended very long. There are ways to make the particles more likely to float around longer, but they're all likely to hold in the radiation, hold in the toxic effects, or both. Putting it in food or drink is a lot simpler and a lot more likely to work.

It's more likely to give the guy a respiratory disease from breathing in the particulate matter. But at that level of particulates in the air, most people wouldn't be wanting to breathe it anyway. We're talking clouds of dust in the air; most people will cover their faces and try to get away from it. At a low enough concentration that it's un-noticeable, we would be talking living in a house with a dust problem... hardly a perilous situation (unless you happen to have hay fever or are allergic to dust).

Not to say you can't use it as an aerosol. It will kill him just fine.

But it won't be covert. You need someone to literally blow the dust in his face...
