Interesting new bonding glue
Although this has only a limited use in our case this might have some uses in our hobby as it's particularity good on glass and plastic. (It says it will bond almost anything including metal and wood but that remains to be seen).
It consists of a one piece unit with the liquid in a container at one end (dispensed through a very thin tube) and a UV light at the other end. You apply the liquid and it stays movable and soft until you press the button to light up the UV which you then shine on the area being bonded and it sets in 3 to 8 seconds. It fills gaps and is sandable and it clearly states this is not a glue as such but a liquid clear plastic which will only harden under UV light. I have had good results on glass/plastic and rubber tube, interesting stuff. Not cheap at £9.95 but if it does the job you need it for it's worth it.

Re: Interesting new bonding glue
I've been using these for about 18 months now.
Although not cheap the refills aren't bad as you don't need to replace the torch bit every time.
Strictly speaking it's not an adhesive, more of a filler of gaps.
Being instant in its setting makes it most useful.
