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

I originally ordered Bondic directly from the manufacturer from a tv commercial. It is a liquid polymer that turns as hard as glass when set in seconds by the blue light technology provided. When I ran out of my initial Bondic, I was thrilled to find it on Amazon. As an example of the amazing properties of this product, I was given 3 hand-blown glass globes that serve as oil lamps. I was well aware of their probable cost and their potential fragility...one of my favorite gifts ever. They are beautiful. Somehow, the breakage seemed inevitable. Of course, it would be my favorite of the three. I had already used Bondic before, so I knew it could restore the look and the set could at least look complete, but they are OIL lamps, what kind of adhesive is going to fix glass so that the oil absolutely doesn't leak out? I had very little hope, but I tried it. It works perfectly, and worked immediately! The one caveate I will say is that it was a large break, going from top to the bottom and coming apart as one large piece which was about 1/4 of the globe. There would be no way to only fill it a small amount and have it look normal. It either had to hold the glass together and withstand oil, or it simply would not work at all. The truth is that you cannot even see where the Bondic is applied or where the broken piece is joined back together! However, being hand-blown glass, with a bumpy surface made to look sort of like water, it has a natural "hiding" place. If the globe was smooth, an all one color, etc, while I'm sure it would still work, it may not be so completely hidden. However, on smaller pieces, like a chip on china, or a Christmas ornament (I dropped and fixed an ornament that was just the word "Noel" this Christmas. It took seconds to fix and lasted all season and is packed back away for next year. You really cannot see small joins.) I love this product!

I used this product on an a commercial ice machine repair,The deflector door tab that holds the door on had broken off ,we tried every epoxy and glue we could find because if we could repair bthe tab ,the entire unit wasn't able to be used even though everything else worked fine , so I began by cleaning the area with rough sandpaper and alcohol pad then sand paper again , applied 1 lap of bondic and although it was Strong it did not hold ,after that I applied multiple layers ,about 5 total to both sides to build up the agent and hardend each layer with the ultraviolet light and then in became virtually indestructible, the units door tab that was repaired not only is repaired but is still holding up to 24/7;abuse from use and has been working for months now . It does not bond to smooth stainless steel at all and I haven't tried it on all services but I am totaly impressed with the way it repaired the ice machine. I will include picture with update.

quick cure for quick fixes. depending on application/use doesn't necessarily last a long time, but great quick fix. It's not super glue.

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.
