Would like a quality kit. What do you have? Aside from the quick cure value are UV adhesives stronger/as strong and CA or Epoxy or simply for specific applications? Thanks
 
Most UV adhesives are some kind of Polymer, maybe CA based, that crosslink by being exposed to UV light. We occasionally used them at the company I worked for, but if I recall, we had to apply a primer to improve their adhesion vs other kinds of adhesives. I think the only reason we chose UV was if we had the need for a quick (instant) cure for some reason. - Dave
 
If I'm not mistaken, the actual adhesive needs to be exposed to UV. I would think that any adhesive used to bond the tube to the blank would fail due to not being fully exposed.
I am not an expert in this matter but only going on my experience. I have used one kit that was advertised on TV and it was hit or miss as far as it's bonding strength.
