I received my kit mayne 2 weeks ago give or take. Which I specifically purchased to attempt to fix my Garmin (vivoactive hr) after I was amazingly disappointed that the band had snapped off on the hard moulded plastic piece and could not be repaired by just using a new pin. After letting the sugru set it was just like new and my friend even said she thought it was just another button on my watch! I don't know how long it will last with exercise, but I intend to find out 😂. Fast fwd to today as I'm picking my favorite pair of headphones out of the DRYER. I used sugu to insulate all the broken connections and frayed wires (including the call button that i never use) and low and behold...magic happens and they work! Happy to have bought this, for $13 I've already repaired about $300 worth of stuff 😁
Fun stuff, but a lot of money for a very small amount of product. The product is intriguing and does a lot of handy things, but it's so expensive that you want to think it through several times before committing this sugar-pack size of moldable glue to a project, because it becomes an investment! Having said that, it really does some interesting things and this kit comes with several little projects you can use the four envelopes of Sugru for - pretty handy stuff! But, as I said, waaaaaaaay overpriced for any kind of regular use. Kind of like a useful novelty toy.
OMG, this stuff is amazing. I was hesitant to order because of the seemingly small quantity for the price. But, it turns out, you don't NEED a lot. Among other things, I've used it to reinforce mobile phone charging cables and it works perfectly. (One of the cords was already split and frayed, but Sugru magically made it work again.) The printed insert in the box gives a lot of ideas of how else Sugru. Unbelievable product.
intriguing! I set out lots of broken things I've been wanting to mend, reuse, bring back in my life, as well as a list of things around the house to fix and then did everything in the 30 minutes they give you for keeping the "glue" pliable. It did seem to fix a rack in my dishwasher, a wobbly birdfeeder, an outdoor thermometer that kept blowing off its stand, some cabinets that were banging shut...not so great on pottery because I couldn't get it thin enough, although it worked on a few pieces, e.g. reattaching a mug on a coffee cup. But I had everything out so I just did the rest of the pottery with Gorilla Glue and tidied up years of a To Do list...recommended. I've given it as gifts to friends who are also intrigued. I think the prices are better at Target and Home Depot but getting it delivered by Amazon is hard to beat.
Sugru is a little pricey, but this kit is a good way to sample the product in different useful colors without too much $$ pain.
I took care of a lot of little fix-it jobs with less than 1 pack.
If you search the web, you'll find there is a way to re-seal the pouches in case you don't use up the entire piece.

Description
Sugru Original Formula is the world’s first moldable glue that sets strong by turning into silicone rubber. It's specifically designed to bond permanently to almost anything including ceramics, metal, glass, wood, plaster, stone, most plastics, some fabrics and even flexible materials. It’s easy to use. Mold it like play-dough into any shape or space you want to fill. You have 30 minutes to fix, bond, make, seal, mount, hang and customize – enough time to reposition and make it perfect. In 24 hours, it cures into a strong and durable, flexible silicone rubber that stays stuck.
I love this stuff now. I will put it on my Christmas list. It won me over when the handle to my microwave broke around the screw that held it. I had ordered a pack to play with and felt this was a great time to test what it could do. My first attempt did not work completely because the gap with so big that the sugru couldn't really fill the hole and attach to the screw. I added another bit of sugru and this time it held fast. It has held up to daily use for the last 2 months.
Really interesting stuff. I made a great charging cable holder (instructions are in the booklet) that turned out perfect. Now instead of tossing my cable on the floor, I'm able to "hang" it against my nightstand. I also put a protective wrap around my charging cable, time will tell if it actually prevents damage but I do see how it prevents severe bending of the cord right at the point where it reaches the phone plug.
This product is AMAZING. I'm telling you if you got wires that need repair, this is all you need. I will offer one warning, however, if you live in a house with pets, use this product in the office if you don't want dust and pet hair to get in your finished product. What can I say, it's like a clay and anything and everything will stick to it. They offer a 3D printer mold program to use for frayed wires. It looks awesome and would cut down on dust getting on it. I wish they'd sell this thing as an accessory instead of a mold program because well, most folks don't have 3D printers. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. So because with the white color. Everything that sticks to it will show. Still a phenomenal product, even with my cat's hair in it. LOL!
I bought this item in April 2018 and used it on my iPhone 4s June 20 2018 (30 pin side about 1") and MacBook Air Mid 2011 ( Magnetic connector side about 1.5"). I use both cables everyday a 3-5 times a day to power up my devices and have had NO ISSUES :). I only used 1 package for both cables and and just hung them down for 24 hours without touching it and it cured very well. They still look like the first time I put them on. These are the original cables that came with iPhone & MacBook. Very impressive :)
Whoaaa. How does this stuff work? It's so crazy. So far my husband and I used it on our iPhone charger cords to prevent them from the infamous splitting and unraveling. We also used it to mount a small magnifying mirror in our bathroom since the drywall is weak and needed more stability. We just inserted some of the material in the hole where the screw goes and TADAAA it’s secured and sturdy. I know we’ll find many more use for this stuff. The only downside is that it’s pricey.
