Bondic--Liquid Plastic Welder

I've been visiting The Grommet website checking out new products. One new product, Bondic Liquid Plastic Welder, may have application for our hobby. It appears to be based on the dental adhesive that's cured with UV light. It may have application both as an adhesive and as a material to build up missing areas or small parts. It's supposed to be sandable and paintable.

Has anyone tried it yet or think it may be worthwhile to try?

I frequent other forums for automotive plastic model kit builders (my other hobby) and this (or similar UV-curable) adhesive was discussed.  I recall mentions that even when cured, the adhesive remains somewhat flexible (not as hard a styrene).  Plus, since it needs UV light exposure to cure, it has to be out in the open to cure.  I'm sure it can be used in model RR hobbies, but I don't see it as some new miracle adhesive which will replace all the other glues we use.  I was thinking of buying some and givbing it a try (for gluing in clear windows in model cars for example) but I haven't gotten a round-tuit yet.

Maybe you  could buy some Bondic and report your findings to the forum.  :)

They reviewed this on one of those "Deal or Dud" news segments on the local TV station here in Dallas a few days ago.   It received "dud" status and it wasn't even debatable.   None of the stuff they glued stayed glued.
