Love this stuff! My impetus to buy was the repair of a cracked refrigerator shelf, made of plastic. application was a little tricky, getting familiar with the texture and how best to work it. The patch is holding up well. Second use was to hold down the metal bars supporting hanging files in a wooden drawer. The bars would pop out of the slot, so they are now locked in with a wad of Sugru.
I go around applying this to everything. It literally fixes everything, from broken cords to broken hearts. Just wrap an appropriate amount of color-specific Sugru around any of your problems and within a few hours it will fix them all.
I have purchased this before, so I knew it worked great. I purchased it this time to repair my mac power cord that was beginning to separate from the connector. (would have been 80 dollars to replace cord)
Neat stuff. I was able to fix a beautiful kitchen knife whose handle was separating from the blade so that the gaps and cracks aren't visible at all, and fingers don't get pinched in the gaps. For another project, it was not as structural/tough as I was hoping: I tried to reattach the handle of a bottle brush, but the force of using the brush was too much for the material. (Probably would have worked though if I had used metal wire or something stronger beneath the Sugru.) Finally, I used it to repaint the indented numbers on my 1950s oven knobs: the numbers look great, though the plastic (bakelite-ish) did gray quite a bit wherever the sugru touched.
I applied this to my ear buds & charger cords (several brands) and so far no broken wires. Even though I was careful to not bend the wire where it plugs into phone/ipad, it would happen sometimes- & this makes it harder to bend/break. But: I didn't find it to be very grippy on flat surfaces (as they show it to be used that way in examples: it fell off when I applied it to my (clean surface) tv remote...). It works as feet, but not super grippy, more like smooth plastic.

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.
My car keys got run over and the plastic corner broke off of my main car key so that no key ring would stay in it any longer (it would slip right out of the place where the plastic had broken off). I used this to shape a new corner and after it dried it worked perfectly with a new key ring inside (see pic). Holding up great!
Love this stuff! It's super easy to use and it really does work as advertised. I've used it so far to re-enforce some charging cables that I was worried would start fraying soon. It took maybe a minute to get the application smooth and then after setting for 24 hours it is just like rubber. I had a few small wrinkles the first time around, but was able to smooth them out quickly just by warming up the Sugru with my hands.
cool ideas listed in booklet
It's a bit expensive for how much you get, but it works very well. I had 2 cables that had begun to fray and following the directions, I was able to patch them up. Time will tell how it holds up.
I used this on the cord of my hot glue gun. It has a rubber sleeve where the cord meets the gun. It had cracked into 2 pieces. Yes I could have just bought a new glue gun, but since my mother who passed away 30 years ago gave it to me as a gift, I just had to find a way to repair it. Sugru was the the perfect answer!!
