Anyone tried glues that harden with UV light such as Bondic?

I've seen Bondic for sale on Amazon, the reviews seem distinctly mixed.
Their website suggests it's like the stuff used by dentists but I'm told the dental stuff uses blue light these days rather than UV light

    Nothing specifically at the moment but it would be useful to have something that you can make set instantly on demand. The closest I currently have is a hot glue gun.

    Superglue does that.

    Doesn't really fill gaps, tho'. I've seen that UV stuff advertised - it certainly looks good. Similar to what dentists use, I understand.

    Also similar to the UV cure stuff for nails.  I've used some, but not a lot.  I think it helped that I already have a decent UV light.  You also need to look out for trying to glue things where the UV light can't get to the glue.
