Should work, that wavelength would be UVA. Nice little unit for small PCBs.
The glue/gel they use is UV sensitive, it doesn't set until exposed to
light, and then it sets really fast. Natural light works, but the UV lamp
is faster. It's similar to superglue without the quick setting bit. Some
guitar players get false nails, so you occasionally see blokes in the
salons.
If you ever need to glue glass that's the stuff to get.
They use the same sort of stuff in those 3D printers where it sets when the
laser hits it.
