This has been getting funded on Indiegogo since earlier in the year, but I only just came across it and I instantly thought it could very well be the next household staple product. Just drop it in hot water, cut/bend/ it to your will, and do anything with it to fix things. Check out the product demo vids - hard not to be impressed!
I actually backed this product on Kickstarter when it first came out. Got a big packet of coloured ones but was pretty disappointed with the durability of it. I've found that Sugru is a much better to use play-dough substance. It's a good idea, but, for me I've struggled to find uses for it. Also, after a couple of times in boiled water, it doesn't bend the same and doesn't show the same usability it does on the video. It's a great idea, but just hard to really find a certain use for.
@calum_webb this is great feedback. And you know, things like this always feel like cool solutions looking for problems. Here's hoping it finds its rightful problems to solve!
Look up "Friendly Plastic Sticks". Isn't this the same stuff? Kids of the 80's used it to make ugly jewelry. XD Smart idea to reboot for a broader market segment! I'd use it.
