Anyone used glue that hardens via UV light such as Bondic?
I've read reviews on Amazon that sound distinctly variable plus there's a query about the UV light and needing eye protection?

I have one of the light sources from the 1980s. It is a 150W halogen projector lamp with a blue filter shining down an optical fibre bundle. Newer ones use blue LEDs. John |

Bill There were some UV curing lights produced a long time ago, but I would be surprised if they were still in use. What makes you so sure that your dentist is really using UV. As far as I know all the resins now being made are designed to be cured with blue light (although UV would almost certainly work too). John |
