BONDICUV Liquid Plastic Welder, Super Glue, Cures Quickly, UV Resin Kit with Light for Home, Plastic, Jewelry (LED Light & Liquid Cartridge in a Tin Case)

Saw this demonstrated on a craft programme on shopping TV. The demonstrations of it's use were somewhat underwhelming but I found the concept interesting and thought I might find uses for it, so bought one.So far it has proved very effective for sticking tiny (Ø3x1mm) rare earth magnets into paper and card craft constructions. More impressive was building a replacement hinge pin for a broken Fiskars Paper Trimmer (made from clear plastic). I'd tried various glues to stick the hinge pin back but the stresses of snapping it back into place were too much and it always broke off again. The pin was about 3mm in diameter and 8mm long so I decided to try building one in situ with Bondic. It was important to make sure all traces of glue were removed from the plastic then I applied Bondic layer by layer curing as I went until I had a pin of roughly the right proportions.It didn't look very pretty (you can sand or file the cured plastic if required) but to my delight it snapped into place on the cutter which is now working as good as new. A replacement cutter would have been £26 so the Bondic has more than paid for itself with this one repair.The curing process is so fast - literally seconds to achieve full strength - makes it a pleasure to work with. I'm optimistic I'll find other uses for Bondic in the future.The unit comes in an "aluminium" case.... first time I've seen magnets stick to aluminium! Even if it is brushed steel, the case is quite nice and keeps the light away from the unit.

OK but not great, seems to work on some things and not others, did not work on my glasses frames but worked on a glass vase. pay your money and take a chance.

Worked fine but too expensive, other products more plentiful and cheaper, good introduction to UV resin

This is very useful and enables you to do some things that are otherwise difficult to do. As a Grandfather, I am often called on to repair toys that the kids have broken. Other glues take some time to cure, and kids aren’t usually willing to wait. Using Bondic, I can often come up with an instant fix.While this material hardens within seconds, it will only do so if exposed to UV light, as such, if the resin is within a join and shielded from the light, it won’t set. In these cases, in my experience, the best way to repair broken items is to use another glue to join the broken parts, then use the Bondic to stabilise the broken parts with a few tacks of UV cured resin to hold everything in place until the glue sets.A while back, I had a spot weld fail on my car door lock mechanism, I carefully degreased the area around the broken weld, then used the Bondic to replace the spot weld, by building up a series of layers that were each UV cured. Car door locks take a lot of stick and I only intended this to be a temporary fix, but more than six months on, everything remains intact.

Advertised as a weld not glue but all it does is hardens on the surface where you put it and it doesn’t stick surfaces together. Not to any useable degree anyway. Can fill a gap between 2 pieces but they just pull apart leaving the hardened bridge loose. Would work to fill a scratch or a bought in a plastic surface but don’t quote me on that. Waste of money, if you want to stick 2 pieces together go get a 99p tube of superglue.

This is not a glue as such but forms a bridge. Important that the light can get to all areas of the repair. although for my needs works well repairing sun glasses , also used to insulate an electrical connection that had been connected together giving a plastic overcoat to bare wire so no risk of electrical shock.

Product arrived really quickly from Mega Magpie. My glasses arm started cracking and I tried gluing it previously but didn't hold up well, hence why I purchased the Bondic pen. It's really intuitive but there's plenty of videos and the pamphlet was also helpful. A few quick layers of the liquid plastic on my glasses and no fretting now about it breaking off anymore!! Really good product and well priced, I'm surprised I never heard of this before. Definitely recommending this seller and item to my friends.

Unfortunately it can’t glue where the light cannot shine, so bare that in mind. Not the best glue I’ve used, and not cheap

The media could not be loaded. I was skeptical, having read both the positive and negative reviews. I did get the sense from many of the negative reviews though that there was a distinct possibility the person reviewing simply ... well ... wasn't doing it right. And I'm glad I went on that assumption. It works! The Bondic was purchased to repair a broken piece of my laptop bezel where the charge cable plugs in. I knew my laptop was on the verge of a major repair if I didn't do something soon, as the charge cable was very "jiggly" and I feared the soldering joints on the motherboard would give way if I didn't repair the bezel around it. Bondic filled the space perfectly, without having to take the laptop apart. It went as solid as plastic within a few seconds of being exposed to the light, and I feel like I've successfully avoided a repair that would have cost $150+. From there, the Bondic has been used around the house for various repair jobs here and there, and what I truly love about it is that it has made me into a pseudo "super dad" - I'm able to fix small issues with toys and electronics with no waiting. "Sure kids, bring it here, I'll use Bondic" - and it has worked well. I've fixed the buttons on my son's MP3 player, I've fixed broken toys for my youngest, and more... all without them having to wait for the old "Well, I'll try to glue it for you tonight, but we'll have to wait until morning to see if it holds." Now I'm fixing things quickly, easily, and effectively. I've added refills to my wishlist. This thing is great!

Quite unique and interesting tool how it works. Effective for broken items that are difficult to hold with with superglue.

本当にすごい！！100均で卓上バイスを購入しプラスチック製メガネの折れたフレームを固定、あっという間に見事に接続しました。すぐに普通に眼鏡を使用しても、何の問題もありません。接着の概念を完全に変わりました、他の用途にも使えそうです。

Conoscevo già questo prodotto e devo dire che non ha eguali per flessibilità di impiego. Una volta polimerizzato (bastano pochi secondi) potete facilmente carteggiarlo per dargli la forma definitiva. Eccezionale per piccole ricostruzioni su abs e plastiche in genere: ottimo anche per fori e filettature lente e da rifare. Costa un po' ma è un prodotto che risolve in modo eccellente le situazioni di bricolage che altre colle possono solo "arrangiare"

Bondic is Great!Lets start with this statement: Bondic is Great! And then lets get some disclaimers out of the way...1) Bondic will not replace superglue or epoxy in every situation.2) It is not as strong as quality epoxy, and as it is not a true adhesive, it will not work well unless there are edges or texture for it to grab -this is why they recommend roughing the surface prior to application-.3) It is NOT ideal for repairing clean breaks as it is not a true adhesive like super-glue and if it does not have edges and texture to grab onto it will not hold well. Also, if your material is opaque, getting the Bondic in the middle of the crack to cure may prove very difficult, as it has to be hit with Ultraviolet light in order to cure.4) It still doesn't stick to polypropylene, nothing commercially available really does, but with the right texture it's as good or better than anything else you can buy in the store.So, what is this Bondic stuff all about?Bondic is an instant-UV-cure filler material with some adhesive properties. What this means in practice is that Bondic combines the best features of a liquid adhesive like superglue, a paste adhesive like epoxy and a filler like caulk. In it's un-cured state Bondic is a relatively thin, clear liquid that flows easily into tight spaces and forms around odd shapes (like you get in cracks and breaks in splintered plastic), but with just enough viscosity to not run all over the place, it looks and behaves very much like gel-style super glues when first squeezed out. That all changes when you hit it with the Ultraviolet LED, and it (nearly) instantly becomes a durable, clear polymer! you can fill large gaps by building up layers of the stuff, and you can sand and cut the cured material like it were soft plastic, which it essentially is. On materials with a rough, porous surface the bond strength seems quite high, but on smooth non-porous surfaces it will flake off quite readily. you also need to be aware that Bondic won't do a good job of holding your pieces in place until it gets hit with the UV, and you will need to be able to hold your working pieces in place. I've used it to tack some things onto unfinished fiberglass (a rough, and porous material) with excellent results, and have used it in place of electrical tape and heat-shrink tubing to insulate wire junctions, I have fixed a tail-light lens, sealed a leaky wire-passthrough in a "waterproof" speaker, stuck a hanger wire onto a small lamp housing, and more! I haven't tested the claim that it "works underwater" but based on the technology involved it probably does, you just have to be sure all the water has been pushed OUT of your intended joint before you cure.One caution: Bondic is cured by Ultraviolet light, and if you are working outside on a sunny day you can expect the rays of the sun to begin to cure your project AND cause build-up on the applicator nozzle in a few minutes. Shade your work area if you want to avoid this happening.Overall Bondic is a very nice addition to my toolbox and junk drawer, and is useful in a wide variety of small repair and construction projects. It's a little expensive, and could be considered a "novelty" as everything it does can be accomplished with other less expensive materials if you are patient, but it really is neat and functional stuff and although you might not wonder "how did I ever live without this?" you'll certainly hope it gets less expensive so you can use it with more abandon.
