The AK Interactive Cyclops UV Glue is designed for hobbyists and model makers needing precise and rapid bonding solutions. Its key benefit is the ability to remain workable until exposed to UV light, allowing for perfect part placement before a near-instantaneous cure. A caveat is the requirement for a separate UV light source, which is not included.

The primary advantage is its controllable curing process; it remains workable until exposed to UV light, allowing for precise placement and adjustments before a rapid, strong bond is formed.
Yes, a UV light source is required to cure the glue. This is typically a UV torch or a dedicated UV curing lamp. The light source is not included with the product.
The curing time depends on the intensity and type of UV light used, as well as the thickness of the glue layer. Typically, it takes only a few seconds to a minute of exposure for a full cure.
While it provides a fast bond, using it for very large areas might be challenging due to the need for precise UV light exposure across the entire surface. It's best suited for smaller parts or specific bonding points.
It bonds well with plastics, metal, glass, and some woods. It is not recommended for use on materials that block UV light or are incompatible with cyanoacrylate-based adhesives.
Store the glue in its original container with the lid tightly sealed. Keep it in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight or any UV light exposure, to maintain its effectiveness.
If skin bonding occurs, do not force the skin apart. Soak the affected area in warm, soapy water and gently try to peel or roll the skin apart. If significant bonding occurs, seek medical advice.
Ensure you are using a sufficient UV light source and that it is held close enough to the glued area. Check if the glue has been exposed to ambient UV light during application, which can initiate premature curing. Verify that the materials being bonded are not blocking UV light.
This can happen if too much glue is applied, or if the UV light does not penetrate the entire layer. Try applying a thinner layer of glue. Ensure the UV light source is adequate for the thickness of the glue layer.
This UV glue cures very quickly. For future applications, practice positioning before exposing to UV light, or use a UV light source with an adjustable timer or intermittent application to allow for minor adjustments.
Do not pull bonded skin apart. Soak the affected area in warm, soapy water and gently try to peel or roll the skin apart. If significant bonding occurs, seek medical advice.
Setup:
Compatibility:
This UV glue is compatible with a wide range of materials including plastics, metals, glass, and certain types of wood. It is particularly well-suited for hobby-grade plastics commonly found in model kits. Avoid using on materials that are opaque to UV light or that might react negatively with cyanoacrylate-based adhesives.
Care:
Store the glue in its original container with the lid tightly sealed in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight or UV exposure. Clean any excess uncured glue from the nozzle or container immediately after use. If skin bonding occurs, do not force parts apart; soak in warm, soapy water and gently try to separate. For uncured glue on surfaces, wipe away with a clean cloth. Once cured, the glue is generally inert but can be removed or softened with specific solvents if necessary, though this may damage the base materials.
