Chuck: Not all UV lights are the same. They have different ratings such as nm which I believe refers to the wavelength and mW to the power so there is a need to match as close as possible the wavelength and power to the type of resin. I have used Bug Bond for a couple of years and also Loon with good results except there is always a very slight tackiness after applying the UV light and I fix that by applying thin clear head cement.
