Perhaps there was a time in your life (maybe more than once) that you had some experience trying to stick some items together using the good old super glue. And the problems that ensue from such an experience aren’t few: the glue hardens too fast inside the bottle once it was opened, or it won’t set fast enough on the objects you’re trying to stick together. Or the glue sets and hardens before the objects to be glued are aligned properly and the list could go on. So if you’re tired and want none of these glue-problems than look no further than Bondic. What is it? Well, it’s definitely not a glue, instead is described as a “liquid plastic welder” that sets within four seconds once it has been exposed to a UV light included with it. Marketed at fixing almost anything, its advantage against glue is that you won’t longer be at the whim of adhesives and glues that rather stick on you than on the object you want them to stick. Sticky fingers, be gone!
Granted, adhesives that use UV light aren’t exactly new since they’ve been around for a while but have been limited only to industrial and or medical applications so that didn’t exactly made them widespread. On top of that, they required users to supply their own UV light and that is a hassle to say it politely. Bondic aims to change all this by offering in contrast its very own UV LED conveniently placed on the end of a reusable cartridge filled with liquid plastic. So how does it work basically? The liquid is applied through a sort of needle to items made out of wood, plastic, metal or fiberglass, then worked in any way the user wants it to be put. Once this is done just shine the UV light on the liquid for a 4-seconds interval and this is all that’s needed to harden it.
Bondic uses UV light and liquid plastic for quick-fix results, better than traditional glue
Not only solely joining things together, apparently this technique offers the advantage of laying down successive layers of plastic one on top of the other to fill gaps. After a gap is filled the liquid plastic previously applied that has hardened by now can be sanded, polished or even painted, depending on the situation. And the more layers you add, the stronger the bond will be so there’s the chance that the previous broken object will be sturdier than before. Available for $22, a Bondic kit contains one syringe-type applicator, UV LED, and a 4-gram tube filled with liquid plastic used for bonding things.
