Sugru is fantastic stuff, as mentioned in an earlier blog, it can be used to model forms by hand and is ready in less than 24 hours. Here is a few enhancements to my workshop I made just this morning. I seemed to be on some sort of unstoppable Sugru-Guru-roll…
Needle Files – are very useful in the workshop, but if like me you buy cheap ones, the files are fine, but the handle is small and falls off in hours of use. So Sugru makes a great soft handle – you can also ‘roll’/press a ridged-lid of something into it to give it a grip. (Poor-man’s knurling!) But it didn’t stop there – I also found it annoying that you can’t easily see which file is which – so I cut into the end the shape of the file and then filled it with a contrasting colour of Sugru. Finally when dry, slicing the surface clean. Rather nice, even if I say so myself.
Silicone Paintbrushes – these do actually exist, but I like he fact that I could tailor my own ‘tips’ of the ‘brush’ to suit the job I was doing. In case you have not used these – they hold paint and glue. Especially handy is that the substance flakes off once it’s dry – no need for washing!
, but also take some time to check out the founder’s remarkable story!
