Sugru Moldable Glue - Original Formula - All-Purpose Adhesive, Advanced Silicone Technology - Holds up to 4.4 lb - White 3-Pack

This product is so easy to use! I had read a few reviews where they complained about how hard it was to manipulate the product, or how messy and sticky it was to use. Let me put those fears to rest! I ordered the product in WHITE. I don't know if color (or lack of) effects how messy, sticky, or pliable the product is to use, but I found it no messier than playing with play doh or polymer clay. There is a 13 month life span on the sealed product (you can extend life by refrigerating it), and the expiration date is printed on the individual foil packets. I got mines on July 23, 2014. The expiration date printed on mine said July 2015, so I would have to deduct that my product is about 1 month old at point of sale. It felt soft and pliable through the foil so I knew I did not receive duds. Product was ready to use out of the foil. I didn't have to spend time softening it in my hand. With one foil packet of Sugru, I was able to adhere my metal shower caddy to my shower head (it kept slipping off- usually in the middle of the night with a loud scary crash), create a small nob for a metal release switch where the original plastic nob had cracked off (for my table top propane stove), repair my phone charger cable where the rubber had come apart and wires were showing (basically what Sugru uses as prime example...apparently this happen a lot), and also adhere the white plastic bolt covers on one toilet (you know, those round little knobs on the bottom of your toilet that hides the screws...well, my contractor must have broke all of them, because they just sit on top instead of snapping on). For the Sugru that was molded for plain sight, I smoothed out with soapy water for a more professional finish. Definitely have a few projects in mind when you open the foil packet, and be ready to go through them until you finish your entire foil packet. It totally makes sense they are wrapped up like gum. Any larger, and you'd be wasting this precious soft gold. I barely had any residue on my hand afterwards. Sugru suggests just using plain paper towel or toilet paper to wipe any residue off. I basically washed my hands with soapy water and didn't notice anything on my hand. I plan on buying this as Christmas gifts for people I know who like to fix things up and modify things- this is a dream come true for folks of that mindset.

This stuff is fantastic. Not a direct replacement for DoubleBubble or LockTite epoxy when hardness/rigidity are needed, or strength IMO, but it is better when you need flexibility after cure and it's much easier to work with. Used this to repair my metal watch band when the links separated close to the spring pin. It held against the initial stretch over my hand and it doesn't irritate my skin at all.Pros: The clay-like consistency makes it very easy to mold.Holds shapeMinimal slumping during curePerfect for vertical applicationsFlexible after cureAmount of product per package is ideal for most applicationsCons:Cure time is 24 hours, 48 hours for thicker applications. There's no options for faster curing. This can be a long time to wait to find out it won't bond well to your material or that you've made a mistake in the application.Cure starts once the package is opened. No saving the leftovers for another time, use it all or throw away the excess. Thicker applications take twice as long to cure, so it might be better to throw some away than to use it all and wait an extra day for the cure. Best to have multiple projects ready.Minus 1 star for ease of use.

We had ludicrously high expectations because we'd seen it in YouTube, and it did just what it said it would, however we are only one week in so can't yet say how it holds up. The only negative was when we saw it on YouTube, we checked the Amazon price and was half of what we paid two weeks later. That may be a Sugru corporate decision to see what the market will bear, and not (I hope) not Amazon- it looked to be the same price everywhere, but all things being equal, I always shop Amazon, because I drank the Prime coolaid and do calculate free shipping in the cost.We also bought the colored assortment pack because we loved the idea. We haven't tried mixing colors yet so don't know if it can be done. The only disappointment is they come in little packets and even in a ziplock will dry-up overnight. So have all your projects lined up when you open up your packets. They are each about the size of a fast food mustard packet, but we fixed 4 IPad/iPhone charging cords and could've probably done 5, if we weren't testing out if it would keep overnight. It worked well with pressing patterns in, my son suggested we could use wax seals, and I did a trial on one for distinguishing ownership of cables. It worked great. Making it perfectly smooth was more painstaking. If I had it to do again (and I have enough to do about 8 more project sessions including colors) I'd clean a piece of plateglass really well (like a picture frame glass) so I could roll it smooth without picking up any gunk. Overall, if it were a little less money I'd buy a LOT more of it. And I am intrigued by the kits or idea books or molds, but the descriptions are bad so I couldn't figure out what they were. And they cost as much as the Sugru itself, so I'm pretty unlikely to buy it. If you got to choose a kit if you bought 3 packs, you'd probably get me, but you be you. I think everyone with a little creativity, any fix-it skills, or DIY desire- will love this product and want more. Btw. (I am not a doctor, and I guess we don't have sensitive skin) but the YouTube demos show bare hands and the product recommends gloves. We risked it. I hope I didn't just poison my family, but it would be significantly more difficult to manipulate with latex gloves, and although I have them in the house- I don't know if most people do. So if your family does have sensitive skin-buyer beware. I'd be interested in what a chemist had to say.
