My biggest complaint about it is that it expires! I bought a 5 pack because I had an immediate use and it worked amazingly well.
6 months later I again had a need for it and I went to grab one of the 4 remaining packs and they were all dried out and hard. I flipped them over and there was an expiration date that had passed!
This is the type of product I want to keep on the shelf for when I need it, not something I want to purchase on demand. Also it's expensive.
- iamben 8y agoDidn't realise it expires [sigh]. The rest of my packets are probably useless then. That said, I happily repaired a macbook charger at both ends, so the 10 or so quid I spent on it works out far cheaper than a £60 charger.
- daveFNbuck 8y agoI actually have a bunch of unopened sugru and recently needed to repair my macbook charger. I ended up using electrical tape because the sugru packets are huge and I couldn't think of anything to do with the rest of it after repairing the charger. I guess that didn't matter so much if it's expiring anyway, but I also didn't want to leave it for 24 hours to cure.
- mmjaa 8y agoI use this stuff from 3M that is absolutely vile-smelling but delivers the same results as Sugur, for about 1/5th the cost. It comes in these little rolls, with an inner core material and an outer material, which somehow manage to co-exist on the shelf without curing, until you remove the end-caps which expose both layers to oxygen, somehow setting off the curing process .. you then smoosh it together, so it becomes this ultra-disgusting smelling blob, then apply it where necessary. Within a few hours, its like, rock-solid. I've fixed countless things with the batch I bought a year ago, and its still good after living in the fridge ...
- wlesieutre 8y agoSounds like epoxy putty. If it cures “rock-solid” it’s not the same results as Sugru, which is a flexible rubber.
- tra3 8y agoWould you mind sharing the name of the product?
- tra3 8y agoDoing some quick googling revealed this: https://www.amazon.com/J-B-Weld-8276-KwikWeld-Reinforced/dp/B0006O1ICY/ref=pd_sim_263_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0006O1ICY&pd_rd_r=P1AXVGA9SKJ344N92229&pd_rd_w=GuqIi&pd_rd_wg=57g0M&psc=1&refRID=P1AXVGA9SKJ344N92229 https://www.amazon.com/J-B-Weld-8276-KwikWeld-Reinforced/dp/... Apparently two part epoxy dries really hard. So not quite the same application as Sugru.

- akeck 8y agoThey last a lot longer if you keep them in your refrigerator.
