Sugru is a self curing, hand-moldable material like clay or Play-Doh... The gunk is designed for hacking and repair.... To show why we are excited, here are a few suggested uses: adding proper handles to kitchen objects; making cases for, well, anything; waterproofing bags, fixing things to other things; making a hammer softer; adding non-slip earpieces to spectacles and repairing textiles, cables, or shoes.
The silicon material gives you a half hour of working time before it hardens and than needs a full day to cure fully, whereupon it will still flex and absorb heat and cold (-60°C to 180°C, or -76ºF to 356ºF) without flinching. It’s cheap, too, at £7 ($12) for “The Multi-Hack Pack which contains “five 10g sachets and five 5g sachets, which is totally a lot.”
