I use a cheap blue laser and it cures hella fast

Nice! Will have to use for my home projects!

Does the glue have longer shelf life after opening if stored away from light? Overall better controlled cross-linking might be a significant advantage.

[@DragonBuilds]

The bottle is opaque so it provides enough protection from UV, it is still important to store it in a cool and dry area though.

How does it compare to epoxy/CA glue in terms of its properties, adhesion, being brittle, etc.?

[@DragonBuilds]

@@Yonatan24 Epoxy and CA glue are definitely stronger and adhere better but I find that the UV glue is still convenient for basic household fixes. It also sticks to glass which is useful.

How strong is the glue ?

[@DragonBuilds]

It's not as strong as epoxy or some super glues but it is stronger than most common household glues. I find it quite useful for small around-the-house repairs, especially since it bonds well to glass.
