You may well have seen me use this product sugru before
It's a moldable glue that sticks to nearly anything and
After 24 hours it turns into a strong flexible rubber so you can use it for all sorts of things
Last month sugru ran a 31 days of fixing things campaign
Today I'm gonna look through some of these ideas and give you my favorite 15, so let's get started
You can help protect your mobile phone by giving it Subaru bumpers on the corners
it makes it look rugged and it really works
If you haven't got any storage in your shower you can use sugru to help
We're fixing these plastic hooks to the tiled wall
Using only sugru no drilling needed and making a hook here too
After 24 hours they're stuck solid so you can hang your storage basket
And use the hook and how you've got a space for your bottles
If you've got a broken zip. Here's how to fix it use a paperclip string or wire
thread it through the zipper a
New sugru to make a nice molded handle
Smooth it and leave it to dry and your zip now has a handle again
Now this is really cool especially for this time of year if you've got a hole in your wellies
You can sort of smudge some sugru over it
Rub it in
Wait for it to dry and it's a really good little repair flexible and totally waterproof
Sugru is great for fixing toys use some white Sugru here to fix the eye back together
You can get really creative with sugru and old toys putting things together and fixing them
If you have an accident and break of vase you could do a really stylish repair with sugru
If you've got clothes that slide off a hanger you can use sugru to make your own hanger grips
another great tip
If you've got too many cups in your cupboard all piling up on the side
You can use Subaru to make hooks stuck directly onto your tiles
After 24 hours you've got a new cup holder
If you like cooking and you follow recipes on a tablet you do have to be careful not to get it messy
You can take three balls of sugru then wrap your tablet in cling film
Mark on the wall where to position it
then make three sugru hooks
Pull them around the tablet
So they look like this
Leave them to set and remove the cling film from your tablet and there you go
You can either follow recipes or watch something while you're cooking
Now this is a really nice idea
if you've got an old teapot you can use sugru to attach the lid to the pot like this
Use some tape to hold it in place while it sets
Then hang it up outside on a tree and use it as a normal bird feeder I
really like that
If you've got a broken saucepan lid it works really well at fixing that too
This is a really good tip
you can use Sugru
make some balls and stick them to the inside of a kitchen cupboard or
Mold it around a saucepan lid to make some hooks
You can color coordinate the hooks to the saucepan lid then use it to store your lids nice and neatly
It makes them really accessible and stops them cluttering up the cupboard and brilliant
Now here's a clip from a Subaru video which I made a while ago you can take a kitchen utensil
apply some sugru to the back of the handle then take a metal washer and stick it on
Do this with a whole load of utensils and leave them to set
When the glue has set you can hang the utensils from one of these magnetic strips even though they're not metal
pretty cool, huh
It helps to organize your kitchen and keeps your utensils nice and accessible
If you've got one of these sauce pans with a metal. Handle that conducts the heat and gets very hot you can use
sugru to help
Let the pan cool down
Take some masking tape and put a ring around the front and the back of the handle
Then take some sugru and wrap it around the handle in between the tape I
Removed the lid and made sure it covered underneath too
If you like you can wrap a worm around it like this and mold it into the rest
Use some water to help smooth it out all over
Then when you're done remove the masking tape
I Did the same sort of thing with the lid
Smoothed it all over
And left them to set
After 24 hours you should have a nice grippy heatproof handle and
When you cook with it you'll be insulated from the metal so you don't get burns
it really works, well and it's a great tip
If you've got a set of favorite headphones that you love her to accidentally snaps the lead
You can repair them using sugru first carefully strip the insulation off
Inside you should have two groups of wires I've got one set which look a copper and the other which look red
Separate them out on both ends
Then use a match to burn off the insulating varnish
Reconnect the wires the right way around by wrapping them together and use some insulation tape to separate the two connections
Hold it all together with some more tape
Then I used some black Sugru
To cover the whole joint
This will both strengthen and insulate it
After 24 hours disaster averted
the headphones work again it feels strong and durable and it's a really good fix
It was hard to choose a favorite they're all such good tips
