Saw a new - to me - gadget in a newly arrived catalog. "Lazer Bond Rapid
Repair Welder". Supposed to work with most materials. Put a dab of resin on
the joint to be glued, then zap it for three seconds with the included UV
battery-operated laser. $10. Doesn't say how much resin is included or if
resin refills are available.

Better than the fast glues?

Anyone tried this new toy?

TIA

By coincidence was on one of the late local OTA TV channels last night
was first time I'd seen it, too...

No idea...

Anyone tried this new toy?

As of yet, anyway, no...

Sure sounds like a "toy" my dentist uses. Material is cured - near
instantly - with a concentrated UV light source. Perhaps he figures
that I'm old enough to know better, but when he's used it, I don't get
any of that "when you're eating go easy on that side of your mouth for
awhile."

They use the word "lazer" because it isn't a laser...just high-intensity UV like your dentist might use. I'm not saying it doesn't work...but pointing out the hype.

My dentist uses the stuff all the time - no more amalgam fillings.

No, but I saw it for sale under t he name 60-second Fix, or something
with a number and seconds in the name.

My dentist shone something like that on something he did to my teeth 2
or 3 years ago. Maybe it was a phoney tooth that he painted to match my
real ones. I'd ask him but I had an emergency and he basically ignored
me -- which I find incredible -- and I'm not on good terms with him now.

Yeah, that's the one. I was groggy so 5 seconds seemed like 60.

Don't know what the resin composition is. Could be anything.

Refill would have to be the same resin containing the UV activated catalyst.

Yep, saw it and want to try it.

It was invented by a dentist.

What interest me is that you can move, adjust parts and adjust things
before you activate the resin. Not like a glue that has a set time
(super glue). Or hot glue.

Ken, have you tried the "toy" yet? Post results, please.

I have my doubts about it fixing a broken fishing line, though

Stuffs it with white epoxy goo, hits it with a UV light... and the stuff
goes off within seconds.

Smells like structural acrylic resin to me. We didn't use a UV cure but
once you've worked with it it's not a smell you forget. I don't find it
unpleasant.

I don't remember there being any smell at the dentist's office.

Thinking, but probably not. They want $4 handling, plus $10 for laser &
resin. Nothing else in the catalog I particularly want. I'm not that
curious. However, if I saw it in a local store for $10 I'd be very tempted,
or if there was something else in the catalog I really wanted.

Come on! Buy it! Then you can repair teeth and fix stuff like a Xspert.

Methacrylate resins are generally used in dental work. Methyl
methacrylate can be smelled at levels below 1 ppm.

Acrylic resins are those usually cured with UV light. The UV activates
the catalyst.

Was it painful to eliminate all the teeth at once and have a long

Didn't get them pulled all at once. Had no uppers for years - they went a
few at a time till remaining molars on one side and fronts went in two
sessions.

Lowers went a bit slower - three sessions I think it was..

Yes, it hurt! He used the modern version of novocaine. Shots hurt more
than extraction. But recovery only took a few days as I remember.

I was just curious. I see newspaper ads for a complete set of implants
or a set of implant dentures "done in one day". I would need some
serious drugs for a guy plowing around in my mouth.

Not sure my heart could stand it.

I'm suspicious. The light source the dentist uses gets hot enough it
has a built in cooling fan and they shield their eyes from the light.
That little UV LED one or two AAA battery light in the "toy"
commercial hardly seems like it would be enough to make any
difference. The stuff they use to attach rear view mirror mounts to
your car windshield relies on the UV light from the sun to cure, this
may be the same stuff marked up 100% and packaged with a $2 UV LED
flashlight.

These weren't implants. Just ald-fashioned glue-in-every-day dentures.
Can't afford new-fangled implants.

Not that bad. Don't worry about it.
