UV light to cure glue?

[bitta]

Where in the space might I find a UV light to cure the glue to fix a windshield chip?

I was gonna suggest maybe good ole fashion sunlight as well, unless there is a reason that won’t work or isn’t feasible.

Also, maybe if just for future reference:

He lives/works from Clarksville (a bit east of Paris, TX), so not sure how far west and south of Collin County he gets to. If you are on the north and east side of DNT & GBT, you’re probably OK, but may as well call and ask anyway if not. And if not it might be worth meeting him somewhere in his travel zone. Whatever… Here ya go: [2022-03-03 16.32.42]

I was just thinking of him when I read this. He had us park vehicles out in sun so UV would cure it.

I joke but it’s legitimately what I use 90% of the time to cure UV stuff. I only bought a UV curing station for when the weather decides to not cooperate for weeks at a time

Thanks all. Well, I was wanting to work on the car later in the evenings so I’d have to wait for the sun to come up, and run the risk of dew/condensation - didn’t know if that would moisture would impair the repair while it’s uncured. With my luck I’d get a bug stuck in it or a partial cat paw print. It’s just a chip I wanna patch up to help get the car sold, so I’m not wanting to replace the windshield. I dug up a little UV light thing from a screen protector kit that had liquid adhesive…will try that.
