Follow the instructions and it works very well, specifically roughen the surfaces a little first and build it up in layers if you need it to be more than 1mm or so thick.

Comes in a nice metal box; looks like a pen case. I keep one in my toolkit at all times now. Great for emergency repairs on-site and, when it glows as I wave it over the broken parts, customers think I've got some sort of magic sonic screwdriver

My only criticism of the design would be ... because you have to turn it upside down to use the UV LED, it can take a while to get the liquid to fall back to the tip when you turn it around to dispense more of the stuff.

I just popped the light unit out of its holder.......
My only observation was the difficult on-off switch on the light.

Fixed two rather badly frayed Apple Lightning charger leads with it today.
As these cost almost £20 each from Apple (and cheap copies don't work) that's a cost-effective start.
