\"Sugru<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

I always like to have some epoxy putty<\/a> on hand. It’s easy to use, hardens quickly and can be machined easily. It’s an awesome thing to have on hand. Unfortunately, it only comes in one color (gray) and you have to mix it by kneading two parts together. Unless you’re wearing rubber gloves this will leave a stinky residue on your hands which can get all over other parts if you are not careful.<\/p>\n

Now it seems there is another option:<\/p>\n

Sugru is a new product that is the lovechild of Play-Doh and epoxy putty. It is supposed to air-set and be dishwasher safe. Who & where it comes from is best taken from their website<\/a>:<\/p>\n

This is Jane. She’s from Ireland and she’s lovely. Jane was studying product design at when she had an idea: “I don’t want to buy new stuff all the time. I want to hack the stuff I already have so it works better for me.” So she phoned some clever materials scientists called Ian and Steve and together they invented an interesting new material for hacking things better. It’s called sugru and is a little bit brilliant.<\/em><\/p>\n

If this stuff is as good as they say it is it could be a game changer (I wondered if it might be useful in aid packages to poor countries – how great to be able to fix your broken water bucket and not have to buy a new one!)<\/p>\n

I haven’t tried it yet but I will let you know once I get my hands on some.<\/p>\n
