So many times things get tossed simply because we are too lazy to fix them and unfortunately it's almost cheaper sometimes to send them along to the dump and buy a new item. A couple years ago soon after my son got his underwater video camera we had an accident and it fell on the tile. The battery cover cracked and it wasn't covered by the warranty. We never got to test it underwater as the seal was compromised. I saw this Sugru stuff on the Fab page and immediately thought of this repair I had been trying to figure out.
What do you need to fix?
sugru is the exciting new self-setting rubber that can be formed by hand. It moulds like play-dough, bonds to almost anything and turns into a strong, flexible silicone rubber overnight.
Developed by a team of product designers and material scientists, sugru's patented technology is unique in its combination of hand-formability, self-adhesion and flexibility when cured. It feels like modelling clay, and it's that easy to use too. Once cured, its durable properties mean it's comfortable in extreme environments from the dishwasher to the ocean in Antarctica.
Maybe I'm a big nerd but I think this stuff is awesome and I'm so proud of Jane...read her story. She had a brilliant idea and went with it. Read the Sugru story.
happy weekend friends,
