Here is a new bonding method I recently purchased. It is called Bondic and it uses ultra violet light to harden the compound in about 4 seconds depending on thickness. Tried it on a q tip and it seems to hold well. I will do some more testing.  Biondic

I use Sheba Nails UV gel with Salon Edge UV light cure station. I use it to repair bodies. It is big enough for 8 bodies.

3Let us know what you think when you use it on actual applications. I bought a Bondic kit a few years ago and felt the results were not any real improvement over conventional super glue. When applied on a Tyco Camaro FC body windshield posts, the joints popped every time I installed the glass. Similar results with an Afx 55 Chevy. The Bondic kit has just been sitting in a drawer since. |

I have already had similar results. Seems it does not adhere well to smooth surfaces and it must have access to the light.
The instructions state that the surface must be roughened. It did hold a cue tip which was made out of paper together and I could not
pull it apart easily. Needs some more experimenting.

I have been seeing this type of bonding materials advertised on Youtube a lot recently. What I'm seeing was developed from the dental industry. I have been tempted to look into it, but haven't yet. Not familiar with the Bondic, but the one I have been seeing is supposed to be very strong. But they all say that.

Let me do some more experimenting with it and I will report. So far it does not stick to smooth surfaces very well but it does
harden very quickly and will be good for filling in body work.

Just used it to repair the missing part of a bumper on a 55 Chevy. It works great for that purpose.
You can add a layer dry it in a few seconds then keep adding layers until you have a finished piece.
Has enough viscosity to hold small shapes before hardening.

Essentially it is UV cured resin, similar to what I use on a larger scale for 3D printing my custom bodies. But some resins are much tougher than others. And probably better suited for gluing like materials together, like cast resin bodies. Conversely, I can't use conventional plastic model cement on my resin bodies, it doesn't fuse the resin, and doesn't stick. Where CA works well.
I don't know what they charge for the pen kit. But I buy large bottles of Siraya Tech "BLU" resin through amazon for my printers. For my application, it is extremely durable stuff. I also use it for gluing resin parts together when assembling a resin body.

I have used it to hold parts in place while the CA glue sets. It does not hold well to smooth surfaces. Does work well to build up broken plastic body parts as you can build in layers..

I heard of this when looking for solutions for filling holes in a lexan R/C truck body. I used clear shipping over the holes, applied the adhesive and cured with the light. For that application it worked pretty well! I also fixed a Kindle Fire case that was cracked with it. I haven't tried it on slot car applications yet.
