    The dentist who told me about it said it wasn't fussy. I suspect many of them work on a wide range of short wavelengths, and as shortwave light gives the clue that high energy is needed, perhaps that's the problem, getting enough of it in. Assuming it has to absorb it to work efficiently, that means it has to penetrate something that is already trying to block it. Andy, how strong were your laser pointers?

    ... I've tested successfully 'Bondic' ( http://www.bondic.de/index.php?id=91 ) and Acrifix192 (PMMA-glue) with 405nm, but found it something pricey compared to the UV-curing resin I'm using for 3D-printing, what gives nearly the same or even better stability ...

    Now that IS a good idea! That stuff might bring the price down fast, and there will be demands for several different properties for various things printed. Only issue is adhesion versus cohesion. Adhesion might be lousy in some of it, but we need adhesion..
