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!!

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.

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!

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.

good product but has its limits

My wife and I are Hallmark Junkies! We have bought multiple ornaments every year we have been married. Eventhough we treat them with care, pieces do break and fall off on their own. Bondic Pro UV KIT is a valuable tool in our arsenal when we open or repack each ornament. Regular super glue sticks to your fingers better than the broken pieces you are trying to fix. BONDIC HAS A GREAT APPLICATOR, VERY PRECISE! The UV light cures the glue very fast. The resin holds our pieces fast and usually on the first attempt. I have been disappointed and frustrated when I have used hobby/super glues in the past. You apply and hold the piece for a long time only to see it fall apart as soon as you let go. I can't be the only one who has had this happen. Bondic is very precise...and the UV light cures the resin so it holds fast. Great product for hobbies and crafts.
