I just wanted to provide a brief update on my thoughts of Sugru. Its a wonderful product, ideal for fixing and personalising things. However, the biggest bugbear of all is the shelf-life.
Unlike duck/duct tape, superglue, epoxy resin, putty and other more commonly known fixing materials and methodologies, Sugru 'sets' after about 6 months, whether you've opened it or not. This means that one of the big bags I had became useless as I wasn't able to use the sachets before they'd all set.
And because Sugru isn't available in most shops, you can't just pop and get some more - you have to wait for the postman to bring it for you. This is fine if you have a non-urgent fix, but when you need to do something straight away, you either have to ensure you have some fresh Sugru in, or find an alternative option. Its often the latter. So reader beware!
One final point, Sugru reckon if you keep it in the fridge, it will keep for 18 months; I'll have to pick some up and try it.
