Sugru is the duct tape of the 21st century you can mold it to fix...well, almost anything

We live in a disposable era. If you cant fix a broken item with a wrap of duct tape, theres a very strong likelihood that its next destination is the trashcan. However, that probably leads to a trigger-finger death sentence for many household items that could be saved with just a bit more ingenuity.

Before you toss broken sunglasses, ceramics, splintered wood, or anything thats taken some minor damage, the sneaky resourceful Sugru Moldable Glue might just be able to bring it back from the dead.

Sugru comes out of the package soft and malleable like Play-Doh, but after a little molding, it can be shaped to stick permanently to all kinds of materials, including ceramics, glass, metal, wood, rubber, and most plastics and fabrics. With its versatility, Sugru can be pressed into service to fix all kinds of broken, torn, or frayed items or used in a host of creative DIY projects.

Sugru is freezer-proof, heatproof, dishwasher-proof, weatherproof, waterproof, UV-resistant, and electrically insulating, so its applications are as vast as your imagination.

Once you expose it to air, youve got 30 minutes to mold the Sugru into its desired shape. Just wrap it or contour it the way you want, let it set for 24 hours, then its ready to go. Sugru doesnt dry like a rock, retaining some flexibility while preserving the bond to the item, so it wont crack or get brittle.

You can use this high-tech putty to fix a refrigerator shelf, earbuds, leaky hoses, or even torn shoes or clothing. Read the rest
