[NSRCA-discussion] Speaking of cool glues...

[Keith Black]

I was at my son's orthodontist yesterday and he showed me the glue they use to attach brackets to teeth. It's a waxy looking one part glue that's light activated. This allows the orthodontist plenty of time to apply the glue and place the bracket in place, then they shine an intense light on it and it hardens. There's no mixing of multiple parts, no rush to get it in place before it hardens, no running, sticking to the fingers, etc. 

After searching the Internet I found that loctite has a product called "FlashCure" that's a light activated CA!!!

Anyone know if there are additional light activated glues that may be useful in model building?
