The only way to attach award blanks to bases, nameplates to bases, mirrors to glass, etc. is to use Ultra-Violet Glass Glue which is Easy to Use and a Permanent Bond can be done in Minutes that is almost impossible to break.
How Does It Work?
The first difference you may notice about UV Super Glass Bond Glue is the word Ultra-Violet. This means that the glue hardens (or "cures" to use technical terminology) under Ultra-Violet light. We use and supply Ultra-Violet Glass Glue, which cures via long wavelength (365 nanometers) UV light. This is the safest form of UV light, as opposed to medium wavelength (used in tanning booths) or short wavelength (used as a germicide).
Since UV light is found naturally in our environment from the sunlight, it may be possible to cure this glue in the sun on a very bright day but it may take a while. It is not recommended since it takes much more time than using a U.V. light source. Therefore It is Best that Ultraviolet glue be cured under an Ultra-Violet lamp and any one of our Mark Series UV Stencil Maker Units will work as mentioned above or a U.V. Bonding Unit shown below.

UV Super Glass Bond Glue is overall a safe product to use. There are two minor safety issues that you should know about, however:
1. Since we are dealing with UV light, make sure to take the proper precautions. The Best way is simply do NOT look at the UV Light any more than you have to. Just set everything up, turn on the UV light and then look away. It does NOT hurt your eyes to look at it once in a while just as you would the Sun. If you are unsure then it is best to wear UV protective sunglasses. If you wear prescription glasses or contact lenses chances are you already have UV protection.
2. Do not use UV glue to secure any object that will be exposed to a lot of water. Water will degrade the adhesive strength of the glue over time, causing the bond to fall apart. So don't use UV glue on your aquarium (use silicone for that) unless you enjoy vacuuming water out of your carpet.
How to Use Ultra Violet Glue
UV Super Glass Bond Glue is Very Easy to use. There are 5 steps involved:
1. Clean and dry all surfaces that will be bonded. Stay away from cleaners that contain silicone, as they will leave a film on the surface of the glass and interfere with the bonding process.
2. Mark out exactly where the pieces are to be bonded together. Take a lot of care when performing this step; it is very hard to remove once dry. If you have to, the best way to remove a bond is with heat. Temperatures of 270 Degree Fahrenheit will soften the bond.
3. Apply a modest amount of UV Glass Glue to one of the pieces to be bonded. Firmly press the two pieces together until the adhesive has spread and started to ooze out the edges of the bond. Make sure that this oozing action takes place.
4. Double check that all pieces are in the exact location that you would like them, then go ahead and place the pieces under your UV lamp and expose for 3 to 5 minutes. Please test the time before you try it on an item you would like to keep.
5. Clean up the glass with a razor blade and glass cleaner when finished. The adhesive should have oozed out of the bond and hardened a bit. This is normal and can easily be removed with a razor blade.
Ultra violet glue will create a super strong, almost unbreakable bond. As mentioned before, the only way to soften the bond is either soaking in water or extreme heat.
