Review on FlashFix Liquid Plastic UV Adhesive: Ultra-Fast Bonding and Curing in Seconds! Ideal for All Materials - Complete UV Glue and Plastic Welding Kit by Jon Garcia

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Surprised how well this UV glue works.

Bought several masks for my son for Halloween which came with rips at the seams. They're flimsy plastic, with holes for elastics that add stress to already torn seams, so I wasn't optimistic it would work, but after some trial and error it did. I ended up using large UV flashlights with 9 or 11 UV LEDs because time was of the essence in our case, but as far as I know the item could be placed outdoors in direct sunlight and also with a tiny light source. Although I didn't use the sandpaper from the plastic roughing kit (it was fine enough anyway), I can see why it's included. In some places the UV adhesive has flaked off the surface of the plastic as it cured, so a sticky texture to the adhesive optimizes results. I look forward to finding more applications for this innovative adhesive. I usually stick with the Instant or Crazy type, and while they still have their uses, there's the satisfaction of near-instant cure times with thicker viscosities and the ability to build plastic in layers. toolbox.
