I am looking for a bonding agent that is easy to use in all applications. Are there any bonding agents that can be considered universal?

Clearfil DC Bond (Kuraray America, Inc.) is a dual-cured bonding agent that is compatible with light-, dual-, or self-cured resins. It is recommended for core build-ups; direct composite restorations; bonding of indirect alloy, composite, or ceramic restorations including veneers; and intraoral repairs of fractured crowns. It is a self-etching, two-component, one-step bonding agent that needs only one application to the bonding surface to provide a good bond.
