I've read reviews on Amazon that sound distinctly variable plus there's a query about the UV light and needing eye protection?
Anyone used glue that hardens via UV light such as Bondic?

Dentists use eye protection when using UV filler.

The dental materials use blue light, not UV and have been doing so for decades. I have one of the light sources from the 1980s. It is a 150W halogen projector lamp with a blue filter shining down an optical fibre bundle. Newer ones use blue LEDs. John
My dentist definitely uses UV.

There were some UV curing lights produced a long time ago, but I would be surprised if they were still in use. What makes you so sure that your dentist is really using UV. As far as I know all the resins now being made are designed to be cured with blue light (although UV would almost certainly work too).
