Sugru

[squirmelia]

At London BarCamp 8, I was given a sachet of sugru. Some people made keyfobs out of it, but I did not know what to do with it, so took it home. Sugru is kind of like Fimo, but instead of baking it in an oven, you just leave it to set.

I thought about attempting to mend my shoes with it, but then the strap on my watch broke, so instead I used it for that. I had to leave it to set, which annoyed me, as it meant I was without a watch for the weekend. (I have been wearing a digital watch since I was about 5 years old and rely on it.) Now it seems set, now it seems fixed and I have been wearing it for a few days. I have no idea how long it will last.

I hadn't realised that sugru were now selling again (the last time I checked, they were waiting for more from their suppliers).

Mmm. Must not buy.

Kevan has lots of it at home. He used it to mend my ladle when I broke it, and it's still fine six months later!

Fine six months later, excellent. I'm not convinced my watch will last that long, but hopefully!

I used the pack I got to fix my iPod cable and it's still holding despite the occasional swinging of my ipod around by it.
