Just be happy with regular cyanoacrylates.......do you remember Ambriod? 
It could be worse...oh by the way I have a UV fiber optic light source in 
my garage.

OK, at second glance, I guess this isn't so reasonable for our use. The 
Hand Held LED Light Source sells for $895!
 
YOWSA!!!
 
I haven't found a price for the glues yet.
 
Surely there's an alternative solution for the light source.

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?
