I have used it to reattach the lens caps on the LED backlight on a TV and to fix a broken nose piece on a pair of magnifieying glasses. Excellent for both of those uses, but how good it is for more mundane uses? I haven't tried :) |

Dentists, according to my dentist, now uses a blue light cure - not UV. I think the UV ones have been phased out, largely due to the impact of UV on the dental staff. |

In those days it was produced by filtering the light from a quartz halogen projector lamp before sending it down an optical fibre light pipe. Nowadays I imagine blue LEDs would be the preferred light source. John |

Yes it has also been used successfully in space, outside apparently, so
maybe it does not require air either. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...
