Uv glue and lightfor plastic

Be that as it may, I have used it a number of times over the last couple of years for several repairs. It is the ONLY glue that I have been able to find that will repair the plastic frames around the lenses of my kids glasses. Two sets of glasses over the years and two repairs that never failed. Three long stem wine glasses for my wife. Did not continue using them all that long as you could still see where the break had occurred, (Missing shard of glass) but while she was still using them there were no issues. Didn't put them in the dishwasher so I have no idea how they would have fared under those conditions.  Fixed a coffee mug handle for a cup that is kind of like an old tennis shoe and I just like it. No problems in probably six months of almost daily use.

2.  An intense UV light source may be required, and precautions must be taken to prevent skin and eye exposure to the UV light.

3.  There were a few times when I couldn't get enough light on the parts, and so I waited until that bright UV source in the sky was out, and even used a magnifying glass a few times to finish the cure with heat (judiciously done).

I have used it a number of times. In fact when you posted last year about trying to repair a broken glass if some kind that had a stem inside I gave you a link and recommended it as possibly the best repair method for that kind of repair.

GREAT stuff and even though I thought it was kind of expensive for such a small tube when I bought it I still have not run out of it after all this time and various repairs.

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

I came across an add on U-Tube for an adhesive often used by a dentists, one of whom thought of expanding its use on many more applications.  It bonds a vast list of materials including wood, metal, and glass by basically, welding the materials together.  It remains in liquid form until exposed to a small UV light tool for four seconds.  This adhesive dries clear and once hardened, it can be filed or sanded to shape.  The video has a demonstration of its strength in the video where a broken wire cable was glued and able to support the weight of a full grown man.  It goes under the brand name of Bondic.  A web site address of getbondic.io was listed on the AD.  It sounds like something with many applications in our hobby.  Has anyone here know of or ever used the product before?

Past Builds: (Done & sold) 1/8” scale A.J. Fisher 2 mast schooner Challenge, 1/6” scale scratch built whaler Wanderer w/ plans & fittings from A.J. Fisher, and numerous plastic kits including 1/8” scale Revell U.S.S. Constitution (twice), Cutty Sark, and Mayflower.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.

1.  The materials to be glued must be transparent to UV light, otherwise the cure will only be on the surface.  Some materials are transparent to visible light but not UV (e.g. eyeglasses), and vice versa.   That said, there are glues that can be cured by both UV light and heat, and so UV exposure  can be used to initially stabilize a joint and then a full cure can be achieved in an oven.
