Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Ultimate Outdoor Plastic Adhesive: Complete Cartridge Solution for Durable Bonds by Adam Ross

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Suitable for SPECIAL uses and purposes

This is not an adhesive but a light activated resin and as long as it is used as intended it works well. I wouldn't say it will fix almost everything. Two-part epoxy can repair a lot more than this material. The first and most important thing when using this product is to check whether light can reach the area to be glued. For example, if you try to join two opaque parts where the resin is hidden, you will not be able to cure it with UV light. No UV radiation, no communication. In addition, the repair site must be clean. I've used it for minor repairs where a visible (but almost transparent) burr is acceptable and I want *quick* healing. It cures to a hard plastic consistency with a slight yellow tinge. It's best to use it indoors and away from sunlight when you need time to rearrange the pieces, then shine a UV light on the area to cure it quickly. To make sure it's fully cured you can leave the part in the sun for a while, especially if you want to create a patch with a drop of this resin. Bondic would also be a good choice if I want to bond clear glass or plastic as the end result is transparent and the UV light easily reaches the entire surface. Some of the cons: not very suitable for repairs where the part(s) will be moderately stressed/bent. The strength of the connection depends on the material, the amount of resin used and the curing of the resin. In addition, this material is very expensive compared to more traditional adhesives. Bondic is great for light repairs when you need a glue that gives you a lot of working time but can be UV cured almost instantly once you're done. It's also useful for filling small gaps/holes quickly, as you can fill an area with resin, wait for it to be even, and then immediately cure. Handy to have on hand for these purposes.
