I never said it would be pretty. The other option would be to get some clay and make a mold around the break and then remove it and cut away at the break and replace the mold and UV the glue until it comes out as a resin and then take a buffer wheel to the UV Glue. Personally I would put up with the surface repair myself.

blue_morpho@lemmy.world@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoThe problem with uv glue is it needs light to cure. So it can’t be used to fill that broken area or inside the break itself. It can only coat the outside.

Not with that attitude (unscrews the entire thing and shoves in a UV light on a wire in the gaps)

Next time I find myself with the right assortment of junk, it would be interesting to run a piece of optical fiber through UV glue inside an opaque enclosure and see if it helps the light get where it needs to go. There’s decorative stuff that glows from the sides with a visible light source so I’d expect it to do something worthwhile in that situation. Could be a waste of materials for almost every possible use but maybe it’ll solve a weird problem eventually.
