Bondic LED UV Glue Kit, Super Glue, Liquid Plastic Welder, Cures Quickly, Adhesive Repair for Home, Garage, Outdoors (LED Light & Liquid Cartridge in a Tin Case)

Versatile & powerful adhesive -- always finding new uses..

Awesome stuff when used properly. It is a plastic weld, so you need to treat it like a weld. If you weld one side of something (steel), you can break the weld with your hands by bending away from the weld. This is the same. You need to have it on a many sides as possible for strength. I got it to put the arm back on my glasses that I accidently broke the hinge on. It's has been 2 months and it's holding fine. Great stuff!

Bondic is easy to use if you follow the directions exactly! This is NOT an adhesive! It is a type of plastic welding, but does not melt into the joint like metal welding. Sufficiant application of UV light is critical; waving the UV over the glue is not adequate for a strong bond. A minimum of 5 seconds over each portion of the applied glue; no less. If a thick joint is necessary, build up several cured thin layers. Only visible glue will UV cure. Bondic does not stick non-porous materials. E.g., to repair plastic eyeglass frames, a butt weld only works if the joint is covered about ½” on each side of the joint where the UV light can cure the surrounding glue; Cured Bondic does not stick to plastic, only forms a bond around the plastic. I will buy it again knowing its limitations and use it only where and how intended.

Pay solid attention to the directions, you must shine it for the amount of time at each part and increase time if using more than a thin layer.It's not perfect, but when it works it works very well. That said I consider it pretty garbage that they won't even share the wavelength for curing when they give you such a crappy light. They're literally afraid someone will steal their resin recipe with that information (no joke, it's in their FAQ). And maybe that's possible, I'm no resin expert, but it also tells me they're not that confident in their product because many resins will give you this info as it's necessary for it to work.Only thing you can do is assume 365nm would work or look up what the wavelength for dental resin is and hope it's the same. Which if it's at or near, then according to the ADA: "One of the most commonly used photoinitiators in dental resins is camphorquinone (CQ). The peak absorption range for CQ is from 455 to 481 nm, with peak absorption at approximately 469 nm."

I ordered this product on November 28, 2024. My bondic arrived on December 5th, and I was excited to try it out. But when I picked it up, it had been cracked right through the middle of the tube, and immediately fell apart, oozing the foul-smelling liquid plastic. I went to report "problem with order" and found that Amazon considers Bondic a "third-party sale" and dumps you over to the Bondic website as "not our responsibility." There, I was asked to log in. But people who buy the item from Amazon don't have a Bondic login. So, I collected the Bondic customer service email address, and sent them a description of the problem, with photos. This was on the same day it arrived, December 5th, 2024. From this point, MY EXPERIENCE WAS ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE THE OTHER DISAPPOINTED CUSTOMER WITH ONE-STAR REVIEW WHO GOT NO HELP AFTER REPORTING A BROKEN TUBE, BELOW: I got the same response: an initial email (with a trouble ticket number), saying that I would be contacted in 24-48 hours, then NOTHING. And, also like the other customer, I tried using it in its current state. I had NO applicator pen, as that was the part of the tube that had broken in two. (OUR TUBES/APPLICATORS EVEN BROKE IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE, SUGGESTING EITHER A MANUFACTURING ISSUE, OR SABOTAGE.) But I was able to dab a toothpick in the liquid and use the light, and it did work. Unfortunately, the liquid had almost entirely oozed out of the tube, which could not be sealed closed, due to its broken state. The applicator pen was broken. And both were coated in a sticky, smelly mess of goo. So, I had only enough liquid for a "proof of concept." Nothing more. I also blame Amazon for setting up a grey area where neither company is responsible for the customer service. Shame on Amazon! Shame on Bondic!

I've used many adhering products and 90% are garbage, 7% barely do as claimed and the last 3% do as advertised. This one does as advertised. This came recommended by a friend and I took it with a grain of salt, but said "what the heck". First thing.. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!I decided to use it on a plastic trim bezel in my car that the holding posts had broken off yrs back and it kind of sat there occasionally falling off. I cut some tabs from another item and applied the first one to the bezel (see pic)...using the curing light on both sides for 4-7 seconds each side and I let go. I was flabbergasted, I kept waiting for it to lean over, I gave it a little push on the tab and the whole bezel moved solidly. I picked it up by the tab and it was rock solidly applied. I tried wiggly it, nope, solid and only took a few seconds. No waiting minutes or hours for curing only to be disappointed after the wait as the piece fell back apart. I immediately texted my friend and with explicit language told him how impressed I was.I then applied the other tab...now this is part of READING THE INSTRUCTIONS! I applied a couple more layers of the bondic to each tab, using the light 4-7 seconds and then put the bezel back and it snapped right into place very nicely and securely. That wasn't good enough, I pulled it back out, put it in, smiled, repeated and smiled to a little laugh of success....thinking to myself, this took all of 5 minutes total to do.As a 30yr contractor I have some heavy duty adhesives I've use on occasion, they would not have worked for this application. So I am familiar with what I've written and can say that at minimum, this will take care of a number of those things that got nicked off and glues wouldn't work on. There's no smell, no sticky fingers, its direct application, turn on and apply the light and its hard. I'm ready to be impressed with some heavier duty applications and will update if I do some.
