Outstanding product. Used it to protect IPhone, IPad, and other charging cords at both ends to prevent cord damage from strain on the cord. Hardened as strong as "JB Weld" ( if you have ever used JB Weld ). I also used to protect the USB cord on my Logitech lighted keyboard for the stress on the cord where it connects to the keyboard from me moving/using the keyboard in my lap. All cords are now really protected. HEADS UP; the instructions state fully cured after 24 hours and that is in fact true, I gently tested at 18 hours and it is best to just let it sit for the recommended 24 hours.
I am starting off my review by saying this is my 3rd attempt at buying/ using this product. Prior to this I got the regular black moldable glue and did not realize that unlike other glue that will last a long time if it’s capped this glue has some kind of use by and if that is exceeded it turns into a brittle piece of garbage.
This time I ordered the family safe variety pack ( 8 pieces, 4 colors) I have since used 4 pieces. What a stark difference. It’s like play doh that you can mold into any shape and then leave it to cure. The great thing is that the family safe type leaves minimal residue on your hands and is easily washed off. Having said that the next time I will use gloves as I have slightly long finger nails and did not like having to clean them after handling the glue. The curing period has not elapsed so I cannot speak to the endurance of the product. I used it to fix the handle of a a good suitcase where the handle popped out, the rest of the suitcase is in good condition. I will update the review after we travel because we will then know how it holds up. Everything else worked just fine.

Back from my travels. From the above picture the glue held up perfectly fine on the yellow parts. The green part did not hold up, however, it is not as a result of the product but the constant lifting of the handle caused stress at the join and it cracked. I would definitely recommend this product it lived up to its name during rigorous travel overseas on different size planes and multiple baggage handling.
Be aware that you don’t get much of this magic stuff in the package. But it’s easy to play with and works as advertised. Great for supporting cord ends from fraying.
This stuff is really super handy. At first, I wasn't entirely sure what to do with it so I reinforced some cables. Then I realized I could use it to fix the broken handle on the sliding screen door. It was perfect - solved the problem and then some. The handle is even stronger now. Then I started actively looking for things to use it for. I've created a couple hooks, made some non-skid feet for some decor items, and used it on the back of a plastic fender (of a bicycle) to keep a crack from getting worse. I used another piece to make a small cork for a bottle... We fixed a dress up crown and a dress-up wand handle that bent with it too. These last 2 fixes were executed by a 5 year old, so they're not representative of how nice you can get this stuff to look.
So yes... I'm really excited about this stuff. I love using it, having it on hand and thinking of new, cool things to do with it.
Pros:
It's easy to use!
It comes in small, sealed packets - just enough for a couple little things, so you're not wasting any but you can combine multiple packets if you need more.
It's semi-flexible when it cures.
It really does cure in 24 hours.
Neutral points:
Some of the compound will end up on your skin just by the nature of the fact that it's a putty. It comes off with a cloth or paper towel.
Cons:
None that I've found yet!
Used one package to fix both ends of my frayed power cord. The product is very soft and it wasn't easy to get a clean shape around the cord, more of a gummy blob but it did cover the issue areas. It is solid after 12hours so I used my power cord which I probably shouldn't have and at 24hrs, which the package recommends as a wait to use time, I started bending one end and it cracked open. I let it sit for another 24 hours and the other end didn't crack and the cord still works great.

I used it to fix a pot who's knob had come off, then covered the knob on another pot where for some reason they'd designed it with a metal knob. I've fixed my coat zipper and the one on my suitcase. I'm thrilled to have discovered this!
I love this product I wish I knew about it sooner I have pitched pretty much everything that I own cable wires speaker wires made little hooks to hang my keys I will be buying this product again
This stuff is fantastic! Great for making rubber grommets for steel siding. If you have gas, water, air conditioner extrusions in your mobile home siding, this stuff works great to make nice a professional looking rubber seal.
I have several power tools that have the electric cords pulled from the tool. This stuff did a fantastic job molding and gluing the cords back into a safe a secure tool connection!
Ok, so maybe this stuff is not able to manufacture a rocket to take you to Mars, but that's not my expectation. The amount is small, but I am not going to glue an elephant to a wall. The price will at some point come down as more and more people purchase; it's a start up for goodness sake!
I for one am ordering more with various colors, to have in my shop for all the handyman needs. Thank you!
This is my 4th sets, too many thing to list of what it can do. Nuff said.
Great product i use it to seal bendable products like wire but the bad thing is it dry slow up to 24 hours to completley dry
