An optical fiber pack (42) having layers (52) of optical fiber (22) is formed on a bobbin (32) using an ultraviolet-curable adhesive. A layer (50) of a UV-curable adhesive is deposited, and a length of the optical fiber (52) is wound over the layer (50) of ultraviolet-curable adhesive. Ultraviolet radiation is directed at the layer (50) of ultraviolet-curable adhesive through the layer (52) of optical fiber wound over the layer (50) of adhesive, to cure the adhesive. The approach can be used, for example, to apply adhesive to entire layers of the optical fiber, or to tack the ends of the optical fiber layers into place.
