Subject: Ultraviolet-cured adhesive for glass
For the restoration of a 19th century painted flat glass diafanorama (see through object like a magic lantern slide). I would like to know if someone has good experiences with UV adhesives and mending glass. For this flat glass object that is painted on both sides, I need an adhesive that cures quickly. I can't use the normal slow-curing epoxies (Hxtal or Fynebond), because I can't use tape to hold it. (Tape might damage the paint). I have heard some negative response about UV adhesives: that it doesn't look right in terms of the refractive index; that it can have air bubbles in it; and that long term effects are perhaps not good (yellowing). Does anyone have good experiences with a specific kind of UV adhesive (with good aging properties)?
