I have not used adhesive, although I have used uv enamel same principle I have had no issues, the uv torch that come with the kit was rubbish, fortunately I have a mate who made a uv light for me

Hi Colbra,
I bought one, thinking it will be a massive improvement on soldering small elements of brass. I fail to understand how a company can make a product making huge claims for it, they must know it is horse***t. They do however make a big statement about other adhesives being a pain, drying up, sticking fingers together etc.
I made many attempts to get results, in the end, used super glue to hold the built up section to the substrate. Plastic, brass, and carbon steel were tried. If you have bought it, good luck, if it worked for you, let us know your method,
Cheers,
Gus

G'day Col - I got some online just to see what could be done with it. Pretty sure the 'bottles' I got were seconds - no packaging, all the insulators that isolate the batteries had already been removed and 2 of the 5 little bottles were leaking . Still had enough working bits to test it and got mixed results. Like all adhesives, there were some plastics it just didn't stick to (no surprises there!) but it has already proven very handy in some situations - beats the carp out mixing up epoxy to bond small items and is really good as a filler because you can set it before it 'sags'. The main downside is that the light has to be able to reach it to set it which rules it out for replacing PVA in your woodworking
IMHO it is well worth keeping some in a dark cupboard just in case you find the right situation one day.

Hi TTIT
Thanks for your reply I have given up on that one, like you said PVA or some 5min Epoxy might be up your way when the borders open up
