Anybody seen this? I've heard a thing or two about over at on the auto forums.

I have a similar product advertised on TV and I'm not too impressed. To completely cure it requires that the UV light be able to reach the entire joint so it wouldn't work well joining opaque parts. To be honest, I've had mine for over a year, and only tried to use it a couple of times. I doubt I'd buy another one.

I use bondic and have been for a couple of years now. Don't believe every thing you see on TV. This stuff is good to fill in gaps and maybe seams between a canopy and fuselage. it wont replace cement or C/A. You need to prep real good because it will pull off of smooth styrene. It does have its place in modeling though and it would be up to you to experiment with it and find out where it would best be suited in it application.

Same as Paul here: I have such a glue and UV light bundle. Used it only once so far and found it worked ok. It won´t replace my other glues, but will be fine to be used here and there.
