The Name’s Bond(ic)…

bondic

The Bondic is the James Bond of the adhesive world. No matter what, it’ll do the job. Plus, its fancy gadget-y design makes it look like something Mr. Bond would carry himself… I mean a Glue-pen with a UV light? That’s some sci-fi stuff right there!

The Bondic is more than an adhesive applicator with a light on top. In fact, it isn’t ‘glue’ at all. The pen is filled with liquid plastic that only hardens when exposed to UV light. All you need to do is apply the liquid over the areas that need gluing, and expose them to the UV for about 4 seconds to allow the plastic to ‘cure’ and turn solid. This magical little device claims to out-power superglue because it provides a more lasting and controlled bond. The plastic can be layered, and even sanded to give you an immaculate smooth finish. What’s more, it works with any material you can think of, ranging from wood, to metal, fabric, and obviously plastic too. Plus, since the liquid only solidifies when exposed to the UV light, you don’t need to worry about sticking those pesky fingers together!

Sunfriend: A UV Watch That Protects You From Sunburn

Sunfriend

Sunfirend only looks like a watch to be accurate, but it doesn’t matter. This new gadget measures UV exposure so it can alert the user when they are about to get burnt, so they can spend time in the sun without having to worry about being in it for too long.

This gadget pretty much makes sunscreen unnecessary. Sunscreen does protect the skin from the harmful rays, but it isn’t only good: It stops the skin from absorbing UVB rays used to make vitamin D. Some experts have warned that the use of sunscreen has caused worldwide deficiency in the vitamin.

Sunfriend is an attempt to reverse or somehow affect the Vitamin D deficiency while still protecting people from the sun’s dangers.

How does it work? You begin by inputting your skin sensitivity on a scale of 1 to 11. The LED lights lining the watch will illuminate as the UV exposure increases. When it’s time to stop getting roasted and step into the shade, the LED lights begin to flash.
