Sugru Moldable Glue - Original Formula - All-Purpose Adhesive, Advanced Silicone Technology - Holds up to 4.4 lb - Black & White 8-Pack

I was on the fence about this product for a while. I thought, "Maybe I won't be using it all," or, "This is pricey." I finally bought some (during a sale), and used all of it for a weekend of fixing.— 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. Just line up what you will be fixing so you aren't left to wonder "what can I fix?" 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!

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 !!!
