Pro UV Resin Kit Liquid Plastic Welding Kit, Ultraviolet UV Super Glue, Plastic Repair for Home, Jewelry Adhesive Epoxy for Glass Light

In a word, Wow!! Truth be told, I am not a stranger to fab shops, nor to glues either. Of course, I KNEW of the resin that cures under Ultra-Violet light (that's what's going on here), and I kept an eye out for it to show up on store shelves, all these many years. I figured that it at LEAST had hit the Industrial adhesive market, but various things kept my mind focused elsewhere. So this is a new discovery for me, believe it or not. This stuff is not a mumbo-jumbo glue scam. It is a liquid resin plastic that solidifies when hit with UV light - the same type of light that makes things glow in the dark in the novelty stores. This process has been used for decades by the auto industry as a first-effort version of a 3D Printer. It has been used with two UV lasers, set up in an X/Y configuration over a pool of this stuff to make prototypes appear to eerily "rise" out of the resin pool. Dentists have been using this plastic for years, which is why you sometimes saw them shining a blue-violet light into your mouth. My point is, this is NO SCAM. It is a commonly-used, RELIABLE material that's been used in the industry for well over a decade. OF COURSE it will work for you - WITHOUT QUESTION - if you use it properly. But it is no "Miracle Glue". In fact, it is NOT A GLUE AT ALL, which is why Bondic's working motto is "Don't use it like a glue, because it isn't one." It is a plastic resin that solidifies in SECONDS, if hit by a special type of light. The plastic has the ability to stick to a LOT of surface types, so it can do the job of a glue in many applications. I am sure that Bondic has a website to help clarify how this stuff can be properly used, and what surfaces you ca use it with. But the big difference in this and glues like Krazy Glue is: It lasts on the shelf without going bad for a REAL LONG time. It doesn't foul up the applicator, making you throw it away often. It doesn't get sticky on your hands or ANYTHING, before you apply the light. So just make sure you use a kleenex to wipe or clean the resin off of things before you use the light. One common mistake that happens using this resin - be sure that wherever you use it, there is still a way to let the UV light get to it, when you cure it. For example, putting a glob of resin on a rubber foot pad, and then sticking it on a box or something, and shining the light at the general area WON'T WORK!! Obviously, the light can't reach in between the pad and the box, to cure the resin that's put inbetween. However, if the footpad was CLEAR or TRANSLUSCENT, then it would work fine, as the light you shined at the pad would illuminate the pad, and consequently cure the plastic you applied. So a little thought needs to go into this. But not much. I also saw a question on this website asking if the stuff would glue a saw blade together. The stuff is just a tough plastic - so don't try to use it where any plastic would give out. The sawblade application takes nothing less than metal welding, if not total replacement. Also, saw blades get HOT, and plastic gets SOFT with heat. Use your brain, and check out the Bondic website if you aren't sure. Since the resin hardens under UV light, just be sure to keep the bottle away from Fluorescent lights or sunlight. EVERY commercial light source puts out at least a LITTLE UV light, so the secret is to keep the stuff in total darkness when not using it. The hardening process only takes seconds. Shine the little "bluish" LED light at the stuff for about 10-20 seconds, and you're done. The directions say to use a full 30 seconds to cure, but in truth, it sometimes takes as little as 10 seconds. No, the blue light Bondic provides DOES NOT harm your eyes or skin. Still, it's not smart to point ANY light source directly into your eyes, so DON'T DO IT. And no, you don't have to wear dark glasses, either. And this isn't emphasized by Bondic, but the resin is not triggered by TEMPERATURE. So putting it in a refrigerator does nothing to help keep the stuff good - or bad. Just put it in a dark cabinet at normal room temperature. Because the resin won't foul the tip of the applicator they give you, the applicator point can be really fine (which it is), allowing you to do some very precision detailed fixes. About the only thing negative I can find with this product, is that they are a bit chintzy with the quantity they give you, giving you only about 4 grams of resin in a tube. But for a lot of people, that will be enough for their needs. When you look to get more of this product in the future, just get REFILL TUBES of resin only, which are much cheaper, depending on the store you buy it from. Then you can keep using the same little cure light they gave you with the original order. It's just a little LED light that produces light of a special wavelength (so no other blue LEDs will work), but the light assembly is easily removed from the applicator, and uses a small button battery cell to function, which can be bought and replaced, should you eventually need to do so. In conclusion, this stuff is NO GIMMICK, and it is TERRIFIC!!! It will do everything you need it to do, provided that you use it properly.

This is a great product. It worked on several different types of materials and held very well.

I wasn't sure about this UV resin technology. I had to read and watch a few things to understand how it works. After understanding, I decided to give this a try on some things that I needed to be glued or reattached. The main tube has one end with a tiny needle-like end where the glue comes out. It's semi-liquidy and applies precisely. I glued a broken magnet for my first run. I roughed up the two ends and put resin between them, then I UV'ed them together. It takes about 5-10 seconds of light to harden. Additionally, the resin can work better if you build up layers, so I added more resin to the broken magnet seam and sealed it. My magnet looks just like new and I couldn't be happier. For the most part, this does what it promises. You can reattach certain things back together and it's as if they never broke. I started going around the house to see what else I could repair. It does have its limitations as to what it can repair, which are generally lightweight items. It's impressive once you get the hang of applying and hardening the resin.

This is not a glue, but a light-activated resin, and as long it's used for the right purpose, it works well. I wouldn't go as far as saying it will fix almost anything. You can fix a lot more with two part epoxy than with this stuff. The first and most important thing when using this product is checking to see if light can hit the area that you are bonding. For example, if you are trying to join two opaque parts where the resin will be hidden, you won't be able to cure it with the UV light. No UV light, no bond. Also, the repair area needs to be clean. I've been using it for making small repairs where a visible (but nearly clear) bead is acceptable, and I want a *fast* cure. It cures to a hard, plastic-like consistency with a slight yellow tint. It's best to use it indoors and away from sunlight if you want time to reposition the parts, and then shine the included UV light on the area to quickly cure it. To make sure it's fully cured, you can set the part out in the sun for awhile, especially if you are going to be building up an area with blob of this resin. Bondic would also be a good choice if I wanted to join clear glass or plastic, since the final result is clear and UV light has no problem reaching the entire area. Some of the cons are: It's not very suitable for repairs where the part(s) are going to be moderately stressed/flexed. How much stress the bond can take depends on the material, how much resin is used, and how well the resin is cured. Also, this stuff really expensive compared to more conventional adhesives. Bondic is acceptable for light repairs where you need an adhesive that gives you plenty of working time, but can be cured almost instantly with the UV light when you are ready. It's also useful for quick filling of small gaps / holes because you can fill the area with the resin, wait till it evens out, and then cure it instantly. It's handy to have around for these purposes.

good product but has its limits

It is important to note that this is not a glue, but rather a plastic weld. You need a visible edge or a seam in order to join two pieces, in a manner similar to welding. It is great for fixing a hairline crack in a tail light and creating a waterproof edge. The applicator is very easy to use and the UV light emulsifies the liquid bead within seconds. It is an excellent specialty product.

Fantastic resin which is set by the UV light. One end is the resin which lets you place the tiniest amount onto the project. The other end is the UV light. This lets me join wire pieces when I am making miniature furniture. Great product!!

Cumple con lo esperado, sin embargo el producto chorrea un poco, parece que el cartucho no sella bien.

Não gostei do produto é mais propaganda do que eficácia..
