Question:We use an UV adhesive/sealant that we allow to cure in daylight. On some days, it cures slowly. Can we speed it up by using a full-spectrum bulb from the hardware store?
Answer: A full-spectrum bulb is only designed to simulate natural daylight. It will probably help a little, but you really need to discuss the composition of your adhesive with your supplier. These adhesives contain a photoinitiator, which decomposes under the light and generates free radicals to begin the curing.
