Self Setting Rubber

Product Description

Sugru Moldable Glue is the world’s first multi-purpose, multi-surface moldable glue, specifically designed to bond permanently to almost anything including ceramics, metal, glass, wood, plaster, stone, brick, rubber, most plastics and fabrics and even flexible materials. Sugru is resistant to water and high temperatures.
Out of the pack, Sugru feels soft and pliable like play-dough. Stick it where you need it, and mold it by hand into any shape. From an ultra-thin, flexible patch to a robust wall hook, you have 30 minutes to shape it, smooth it and reposition as required. After application, this all-round putty hardens to a tough, shock-resistant silicone rubber within 12-24 hours (depending on the layer thickness).

Its innovative formula means Sugru has hundreds of applications:
✔ Mount household fixtures without drilling
✔ Re-attach, replace or rebuild broken parts
✔ Use it as a sealant and to patch up cracks
✔ Fix and reinforce cords and cables, such as mobile phone chargers (up to 24 volts)
✔ Patch shoes and clothes
✔ Create custom grips for equipment and tools
✔ Use it for arts and crafts
✔ And many other projects - thanks to its unique properties, Sugru is more versatile than epoxy putty and super glue

Recommendation: for all those looking for a versatile and simple adhesive solution.

Good stuff - but use it or lose it
by Malcolm (4 out of 5 stars)
March 10, 2015

The GOOD: multiple colors, malleable, turns into a "hard rubber" on curing (not a plastic, still slightly soft, like a basketball), gives you the chance to fix things in the "plastic" world with more than just glue and hope.

The BAD: once you open a packet, it's use it or lose it. For most applications, this is just fine -- they give you ball of the stuff about the size of half a man's thumb ... but if you are looking to use it for something small (e.g. I've seen people suggest using Sugru to refill numbering on appliance knobs that have worn clear), then you're frantically looking for other places to apply this stuff before the whole ball cures and you have to throw it away.

The VERDICT: this is nifty stuff and definitely does what it promises -- if you smush it around a wobbly plastic part, it will become a solid rubber boot to support that part. When you look to use a packet, either prepare to toss the extra, or line up all your jobs at once and do them in the 30+ minutes you have - not difficult.

HELPFUL SUGGESTION: if you're repairing something visible, get a razor blade or other flat piece of metal to help shape the putty (and maybe a spoon for curving). Otherwise, your fix will look like a blob of colored silly putty, complete with thumb prints.

Good repair tool, with a few flaws
by Federico Hatoum (4 out of 5 stars)
July 22, 2013

I've known about Sugru for a while, but didn't have an application for it until recently. The band from my Suunto watch broke and I could either try to repair it or purchase a new Suunto strap and band set (the smaller band is not sold separately). Since Sugru was cheaper than a new Suunto strap, I tried it out.

I wrapped Sugru around the original band and gave it 24 hours to cure. It worked well, and I haven't had any problems with it since then. Even though the band is still broken, the Sugru attached to it and holds the band in place over the strap.

I would recommend Sugru for many different kinds of repairs, but it's not perfect. Here is my opinion on Sugru's strengths and weaknesses.

Pros:
* Easy to work with
* Strong and long lasting
* Lots of applications
* Comes in various colors

Cons:
* Short shelf-life. Depending on how you store it, Sugru will be usable for around 6 months sealed in its package. This makes it difficult to buy the right amount of Sugru for your application. Since repairing my watch, I searched for other things to repair. While I found a few others, I don't know if I will end up using all of it, which means it will go to waste.
* Can't save leftover Sugru. Once you open a package, you have to use all the Sugru.
* Expensive. This is especially true if you end up wasting some of the Sugru for lack of projects.
* Stiffer than you might think. Many of the suggested uses imply that you can add Sugru to handles and knobs to provide cushioning. However, cured Sugru is rather hard and has little give. That makes is good for some situations (repair a watch band), but not so great for others (cushion the inside of a scissor handle).
* Heavier than you might think. Sugru is fairly dense so it adds noticeable weight to repairs. I particularly noticed this when I used it to seal the wires of a set of earphones I fixed (re-soldered the wires).
* Not sticky or "grippy". I applied some leftover Sugru to the bottom of a USB hub thinking it would help keep the hub from slipping, but it had little effect.

So far, I've used Sugru to:
* Repair a watch band (effective use of Sugru).
* "Cushion" the inside handle of a pair of scissors (did not provide cushioning).
* Provide cushioning under a glass tabletop (worked very well)
* Seal wires of a repaired set of earphones (effective seal, but added considerable weight and stiffness)
* Keep an old iPhone USB plug from breaking any further (worked well)
* Add rubber feet to a USB hub to prevent slipping (did not provide noticeable grip)

Easy to use and useful! but with caveats
by Cissa (4 out of 5 stars)
April 4, 2017

While I am so far delighted with it- pricey though it is- other reviews have clued me into some flaws.

First, the positive: I got it mostly as an alternative to electrical tape for repairing charging cables on which my cats have shredded the coating. This has happened to several, so it was easy to use up a whole pack- this is good, since once opened, the stuff cures whether or not you've used it. It was easy to use, and has made a somewhat flexible cover replacing the shredded plastic. It was easy to use. I kneaded it a bit before applying, because it seemed a bit granular right out of the package, but smoothed up well. As you can see in the attached photo, I did not make extra efforts to make the repair look slick and pro!

So far I am very happy with it. It was FAR easier to get a good covering for the wires with it than with electrical tape. I did have enough jobs to use the whole packet, so none of it went to waste.

Potential negatives: the expiration date is Dec 2017, for the stuff I got April 2 2017. I still have 7 packages to use! One review suggest storing it in the refrigerator, and I will do that.

Also, several people have had their repairs crack and break promptly. I will edit this review if any of mine do! I suspect that they did not knead the putty before using it, which was important to get a uniform smooth texture.

So far, though, I am very happy with it! I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 mostly because the shelf life is short- I got 8 months, but some people have reported 3, and there's no way to tell until you buy it.

Stored them inside a cool, dark cupboard
by C. Soon (1 out of 5 stars)
October 9, 2017

Do not buy this to keep! Expiry date on all these packages is Nov 1st, 2017. Got them in January 2017. Stored them inside a cool, dark cupboard. Wanted to use it today, Oct 9th 2017, and for the 10 packets I have opened up, they are all hardened. They don't stick and don't mould any more. Complete waste of my money. Only works if you get it fresh and use them immediately. Now, I have to throw away 30+ packets. Totally disappointed.

PERFECT for Computer Cords and More !
by A. Holloway (5 out of 5 stars)
May 14, 2017

I first tried this product because i got so sick and tired of replacing my cord that plugs into my Mac computer. At least 4 have broken where the cord plus into the computer. I tried everything possible. I put a metal coil to make it more flexible, I put glue around it to help it be more stable. I purchased phone cord (the coiled kind) and that helped a little bit. these stupid cords cost $80 a piece or so. Decided to try this stuff. Received it about July 28th 2016. Put in on the cord for about 10 inches. This is the longest I have gone without having to replace the stupid cord. YEAH. There are no cracks or breaks in the Sugru as of yet. Thsi is now May 14, 2017 so that is quite some time in my opinion. A few weeks ago I purchased an exercise machine. On the handle of the machine there are to approx 3" balls for you to hold onto for balance. One of the rubber(sih) balls came damaged with chunks out of it. We had already put the thing together and it worked great, just had this one problem. The lime green ball could be used but since it is used for balance my right hand kept feeling uncomfortable feeling the gouges and kind of rough rubbery feel. So purchase some more Sugru and put it on the ball. First put it into the gouged area and then smoothed over the bits etc. Let it dry for 24 hours (a must and yes did that after I had put it on my computer cord too). We put the fixed ball onto the exercise machine and it is so close to perfect ! I had to take my time applying it because I needed to fill in the nicks and smooth it over quite a decent sized damaged area, about 2 inches going around the one side of the ball. The green Sugru isn't the exact color green but close enough for me! (photo attached) Perfect Fix ! Not sure why some other have had it not work for them. The biggest test so far really has been the cord on my computer because it has been on such a long time so perfectly. And I use the computer in my lap, so the cord does he bent and moved and put on and off etc. And until Apple decides to stop ripping people off and manufacture a decent cord for their laptops this is THE best solution ever. Uploading photo. You will see 2 colors of the Sugru (from the small packets needed to use 2 colors for such a long area and yes it is curved because that is the way I laid it to work better bending into the computer while in my lap). Important to take your time. Important to give it time to set.... 24 hours at least. Extremely happy !!!

Makes an awesome stamp!
by Amazon Customer (5 out of 5 stars)
February 14, 2016

This stuff is awesome! And I could totally see it being addictive. Bought it to make my own wax seal stamp for some packaging since having a custom one made in metal was soooo pricey. Just rolled it in a ball and squished it on a bottle end and carved my design in with a clay carving tool I had around the studio. Now I'm wondering what else I could do with this!

All dried up way before expiration date. An expensive fix for your cable!
by Spike D. (1 out of 5 stars)
July 12, 2017

Thought I was the only unlucky one..Then I came up to Amazon and found another user who has the same problem. I bought a pack of 8 in November 2016, used one then put the rest in my desk drawer. They all have expiration date of August 2017.

They were great when I used them the first time. Now is only middle of July 2017, but they all are unusable. All dried up inside their sealed foil package. For the price, I could buy me new cables! So if you need this expensive thing, use them all up when you get them. Otherwise, trust the expiration date on the package and ready to be frustrated.

Amazing Product For Fixing And Preventative Measures
by benjamin bannister (5 out of 5 stars)
August 8, 2017

I was on the fence about this product for a while. I thought, "Maybe I won't be using it all," and, "This is pricey." I finally bought some (during a sale), and used all of it for a weekend of fixing. I had to buy more.
- FIXING PREVENTION -

I like preventative care, so I will "fix" things before they have a chance to break. I used the Sugru to reinforce all my important electronic cables: laptop cables and adapters, iDevice cables of all types, AC power cables. One packet might be able to reinforce 2-3 cables (on both ends) depending on how much you use.
- HOW TO USE -

Wash your hands, and wipe down the parts of whatever you're fixing. Cut on the dotted line on the packaging, scrape the Sugru off, roll it in your hands and start applying it to whatever part you want. You have half an hour to use each packet. I was worried about time at first but I've been pretty good at using one packet in under 20 minutes.

I think what you get in each packet is a perfectly balanced amount-enough to use within the 30-minute time frame. I suggest lining up what you will be fixing so you aren't left to wonder, "what can I fix next?" in that 30-minute window. It's kind of funny when you open it you're wondering what you could possibly use this for and you feel it might be too much in a pack. After using it, you realize you need to open up more packs as it was not enough.

Let it sit and don't touch it for 24 hours, don't let it touch other things as it could stick to it. Give it 48 hours if the thickness is over 3mm.
*** TIP ***

If you apply Sugru on cords, use gravity to keep cure Sugru straight. Example: if you put Sugru around a bent cord end, hang that end with something slightly heavier attached to straighten it out. Once it's cured, it should be a straight(er) end.
- FIXING BROKEN THINGS -

Here are the things I used Sugru for:
* Fixed and reinforced a swimming goggle nose piece
* Added a bumper feet to a toaster that was off balance
* Reinforced my TV adapter cables with a layer to prevent future frays
* Reinforced headphone cable joints
* Glued my 10-year old teapot lid back on
* Reinforced straps on two pairs of slippers
* Reinforced Apple's Lightning to 3.5mm adapter (because that cord is really thin)
* Added flat bumpers to my wobbly TV remote
* Reattached a piece of plastic to a kitchen appliance
* Sealed the ring of an insulated cup
* Patched up holes in several shoes
- STORING UNTIL NEEDED -

One of the first concerns is storing this for later use. Their website says you can store it in the fridge, so I store it in a Ziploc and keep it there until needed. It can last up to 13 months. (However, I used all 24 packets I had within a month; lots of preventative measures!).
- THINGS TO KNOW -

This can stain your hands, especially the black. The official instructions say you can wipe yourself clean with some toilet paper, and surprisingly it works to an extent. You can start with the toilet paper, clean off any other residue with soap and water, and then more toilet paper.
- SUMMARY -

Sugru is so versatile and easy to use. I wish I had bought it sooner and I had to reorder two more packs after two days of fixing. It has saved me money from having to rebuy broken items (saving hundreds of dollars), and it helped restore and reinforce things that couldn't be replaced! That itself is worth the price. Recommended!

Life saver!
by Abi Jin (5 out of 5 stars)
June 20, 2015

I used Sugru on both bigger and smaller projects. For smaller projects, 1. the paint on my glasses arms were chipped off, and repeated contact with it caused inflammation on my skin. I covered the glasses arms with a thin layer of Sugru, and it took care of the problem. It was a lot harder than I thought to apply a very thin layer of Sugru on metal though. Smearing Sugru through a layer of plastic wrap helped. 2. I fixed a couple of cables with Sugru, which is fairly easy. The bigger project is a shower improvement. The shower in my room has only hot water, and it gets really hot in the summer. I'm a renter, and my landlord doesn't want to deal with the shower. My only option is to somehow turn the sink into shower, but still be able to use the sink when I'm not showering. The problem is I couldn't find proper adapter for shower to fit the faucet. But then with Sugru, I don't have to have the perfect size of the adapter. I used Sugru to connect a 3/4 to 1/2 adapter to the faucet. So now I can connect the shower to the faucet when I need it, and remove it when I don't need it. All in all, in my opinion, Sugru would be perfect if there's a way to store opened but unused Sugru for later.

Sugru Moldable Glue did not work as advertised...
by DK (1 out of 5 stars)
January 22, 2017

1 star because although I received a fresh package of Sugru Moldable Glue and glued a small plastic-to-plastic item the bond did not hold. I was very careful in preparing the surfaces and washing my hands as the instructions advised. It seemed to bond okay at first, but within a few days after curing the bond separated. I had purchased 8 Single Use Packs and stored the remaining 7 packages in the fridge--as directed. I decided to try to bond the item again, so I took one of the unopened packages of Sugru out of the fridge and let it reach room temperature before I tried to use it. Once I opened the package I found that the Sugru had dried up and had turned into a piece of hard rubber. When I checked the other 6 packages I realized they were all dried and hard as well. There are expiration dates on each of the individual packages, and mine were several months away from being expired, but that did not matter. I was unable to return the Sugru Moldable Glue for a refund or replacement as my 2nd attempt at using the glue was past the 30-day purchase date. This was an expensive glue that didn't work for me. If you buy this product, I hope your mileage varies.
