ZAP-IT The UV Light Curing Glue that Bonds Virtually Everything

Used this as a temporary fix for glasses I keep at home. I was able to reattach the broken arm on my glasses frame, but I’ve had to re-glue the arm a few times because it comes apart if I’m not careful with my glasses.

AND saved me a bunch! I fixed the frame of my glasses neatly and well enough to let me go on using them until my eyes settle down from surgery and I can get new frames with the new lens prescription. I like that it's easy to work with, you can take your time, re-position the edges, even give up and start over, which I had to do until I figured out the best way to do it - I don't have a clamp arrangement and have to work on my own. Definitely would be easier and maybe produce an even neater job with two people if you're joining things where you really need two hands to keep it well positioned and you don't have a clamp arrangement.But I'm happy enough with the outcome. People don't seem to notice the fix and it's held up without a problem so far, so that's all I need.In fact I was so pleased with how it all worked out that I decided to also try the glue to fix a cracked base for a decorative bowl that I really didn't want to have to part with. It's amazing. You have to look really closely to see the join, and after how well my glasses frame has held up despite all the taking off and putting back on it gets put through every day, I'm not worried about the base fix holding up.I don't know if this will turn out to be another glue that dries before the next time I want to use it like so many other glues I've tried over the years - most of which never worked out at all so they were a total waste - but honestly even if it does dry up, it was worth it just to get these two items fixed and usable. Wish I'd known about this stuff years ago!

I was trying to fuse the stem of a small plastic trophy. it is coated with an opaque metallic gold. I am sure the light could not reach the majority of the glue. Maybe it would have set on its own eventually, but it wouldn't stay together.

There are some items that just need an instant bond... In the case of my daughters horse, whose leg was broken compliments of her little brother, hot glue wouldn't suffice, super glue never held, and E6000 took too long to set for a piece that was too akward to leave sit somewhere to cure without it falling apart or bending wrong and drying deformed.I turned on the light, set it down. I put a tiny dab of glue on the leg, pressed it on, lined it up good, then held it into the light. I was mad because after just a second holding it there, I dropped it, yelling OH COME ON but it was already bonded in literally just a second! I added more glue to fill in gaps, cured it for ten seconds on either side and it's perhaps now more durable than prior to being broken! My daughter is thrilled, I am baffled, the horse is saved, technology is great, and you need this product in your life!

Worked great...one time! The second time I went to use it, however, the glue had dried in the tube. And, yes, I had put the top on as tightly as it would go. So be warned.

Hey, say what you want, but it worked perfect for me. My eyeglasses arm broke right in the middle. Sorry frames if you ask me, but I cleaned the arm pieces, then took a small file and marked some groves on them to give the glue something rough to hold on to. I put them in alligator clips in a small vise and got them where I wanted them, then gooped out the glue on top. It started to drip so I took the light and hit it and in like 1 second the dripping stopped. I kept the light all over the glue for like 5 minutes and they are hard as a rock. Wearing them now. Saved me $200 on new frames. Now I have no idea how long this will last, but it is working just great for now and I am very happy. Not a paid review, just my take on this.

Glue worked well, but dried up after several weeks without use. I was only able to use it once.

They said it was hard an would not take vibrations ,but i have other uses for this product.
