Sugru, a DIY wonder tool

in #diy7 years ago

If you do a lot of DIY projects, you will likely find many uses for Sugru. Sugru is sort of like Playdoh but dries quickly and turns into a hard rubber-like texture. You can use it to drop proof a camera, fix a leaky pipe, add contour grip to a baseball bat. It has so many users and most of them are not on the box.

I love Sugru, but it is expensive.

What can you do with it?

I could go on and on, I used it to add a headset holder on the back of my computer, an iPhone mount on my elyptical, cover screws and nails on the basement ceiling, and a grippy handy for my letter opener.

One guy made some bumpers for his iPhone to make it virtually drop proof in this video:

I keep some in my fridge all the time, I don't use it often but when I do it is to create something I likely can't get anywhere else. Keeping it in the fridge extends the life of the product that normally has a 6-month lifespan, to around 2 years.

If you want to see it in action, here is a great video that shows a lot of ideas and how to use it.

I like this idea. I think it's pretty neat and I like the hanger idea and this little Sugru could be a neat little tool that makes our life a little bit easier and easy to use.
Thanks for sharing it @themarkymark

It looks kind of like Blu Tack but Blu Tack stays sticky. I presume these turns hard and become non sticky after it dries?

It has a smooth rubberized but firm feeling. Not sticky at all.

It's almost like hand sculptable 3D printing.
