Bondic UV activated adhesive

Post by joedunlap »

Just came across this in a Facebook ad. It appears to be a urethane activated by UV light. Looks easy to sand/file. Dont know about its real adhesive qualities or long term stability, but it looks like an intriguing possible substitute for CA glue and putty for filling gaps and holes. Your thoughts?

Edit: here is a link to a video demo. The weird electronic voice-over and music aside, the demo seems to show a lot of promise as a modeling medium.

Chris Flodberg (sargentx) bought some and tried it out - he had put his observations here.

In short, great for filling gaps, but inferior to CA for gluing.

It sucks. lol. Totally useless for ship modelling except maybe doing rigging. Unbelievably pour bond to just about every surface.
Sadly...as I had my hopes up!
