Anyone use Bondic?

Hi Mario,

I LOVE this stuff.   I've been using it for several month and I'm satisfied with the results.   One thing to remember, it isn't good for everything so read and follow the directions.

Hi Mario,

I picked up one at Walmart that was on sale, just to give it a try. I have used it on fixing broken rolling stock, filling gaps, heck even fixed a few things for the wife. I think it's great, the only problem it it sure seams to go fast and refills are $4.99 each. But then again that is about the price of good super glue and it does give you time to set things in place before you activate it with the UV light.

I would recommend it to anyone in the model hobby!

Will attach brass to brass...piping,grab irons etc?

Hi Willy, I haven't tried it on Brass, but I did try it on aluminium and it worked great. If I can find some Brass laying around I will give it a try and let you know.

I use it and like it, for some jobs.  Great for securing wiring inside a plastic loco shell, apply - use the light and done.....4 seconds.

You cannot expect it to match epoxy.  Different glues for different applications.

Used it and something similar. (Same thing different name) Works great and is sandable. Only issue that the UV light will only work where it is visible. Otherwise you must let it cure for 24hrs. Its also flexible. Something to think about. 

Will it work for a broken AF hook coupler?

I use it to mend broken 3D laser printed parts, but I use a 405nm laser (with 405nm googles on) to cure the parts.

Guys, great post.  Thanks for the heads up on this product.  I have never used it. I will give it a try.

Is this a product specific to one retailer or generally available at the big box stores?

You can usually finder cheaper alternatives to the "As Seen On TV" brand if you look around. 

CR Laurence brand UV Adhesive can be had in a 30g bottle for about $20 - $25.  Per gram that's half the cost of the Bondic brand refills. 

Other alternatives as seen on tv type kits are Lazer Bond, 5 second fix, Super Power, RapidFix...  I've seen most of these available in Walmart, Home Depot, Amazon, Walgreens...
