About this product

Product Description Sugru is the world’s first mouldable glue that turns into rubber. Invented by Jane and made with love (and science) in the UK, Sugru is here to make fixing and making easy and fun. Pretty cool, huh? From the Manufacturer What is Sugru? Sugru is the world’s first mouldable glue that turns into rubber. With its ‘6-in-1’ formula, it is perfect for any of your project: it can fix, bond, cushion, replace, create and seal. How does Sugru work? Stick it, shape it, it turns into rubber. It’s that easy! Its unique formulation ensures that it will adhere strongly and securely across many surfaces and environments, from the freezer to a steamy shower and from the home to the great outdoors. Stick it. Sugru sticks permanently to lots of stuff like ceramics, glass, metal, wood, and most plastics and fabrics. That's exciting because it makes it very versatile, but you can also use Sugru to bond unusual combinations of materials together. Shape it. It's time to build, seal, fix, create, and stick things together. Mould Sugru with your hands and shape it the way you need - you have 30 minutes to get the job done. It turns into rubber. Give it 24 hours : Sugru turns into a durable, flexible silicone rubber that stays stuck (unless you remove it). Allow longer for pieces that are more than 3-5mm thick. Top tip: to speed up cure time place your project somewhere warm. Almost a million people in 159 countries use Sugru! Sugru will help with everything, from fixing a sink or a broken cable to improve a paragliding or deep sea diving equipment. Join the Sugru community of doers! About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words. I can do it in two! Mouldable glue. How did you come up with the idea for this product? Everything started when I was studying product design at the Royal College of Art when I realised that I didn't really want to design new stuff - we all have enough. What about all the stuff we already have? There’s so much untapped creativity in the world, everyone has ideas for how things can work better. It's not only designers and manufacturers that know how to improve products, sometimes it’s the users of things who know best! I thought if there was an easy and fun way to change and improve things, then people could find that really useful. It’s turned out to be even more true than I thought! What makes your product special? Sugru is designed to make fixing and making easy for anyone. It feels like playdough straight out of the pack, so you can mould it into any shape. Then, it bonds to almost any other material and just by exposing it to air, it turns into a strong durable rubber. So it’s perfect for fixing and hacking everything from gadgets to kitchen appliances to toys. People love that it’s so durable and stays strong and securely bonded anywhere from the freezer to a steamy hot shower, from the home to the great outdoors.
