Default UV-Ultra Violet Resin/Glue

Has anybody ever used it? My main question is, Do I need one of the expensive/official UVA curing lamps or can I use something else?

Well from reading jewelry forums also;
If I remeber correctly, direct sun lite will do on some of the uv resins.

Yes you can put it out in the sunlight and it will cure.

My friend uses sunlight to cure. She does have a cheap UV light, I believe it's for nails. I know it wasn't expensive. She said the sun works when it's around noon the best.

Update:
I bought the glue, and old fashioned hippie black lights seem to work the best for the resin that I have.
