UV finish touchup question

Greetings, RR Forum. It's been a while. I have a question about touching up UV finishes. I work in the stained glass industry and use UV-curing glue on glass from time to time. We use a light to cure the glue, although I don't recall what sort of wavelength it uses. The question is, if I had to do touchup on my my 2013 4004L, is it likely that I could use this light to cure UV finish?

I would think that any light source designed specifically for the task of curing a UV finish would work.

Thanks for the quick reply, Jeff. That's what I figured, but I only know about curing the glue. I don't know so much about the finishing process. I do know that the finishes behave much like the glue does, though.

Edit: I did figure that I could use the glue to touch up small spots on UV finishes, but this question really pertains to slightly larger areas.
