My Sugru Christmas present!

12/12/2012 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  Leave a Comment

I have just had ever such a nice little pressie delivered – a Sugru Tshirt and, even more useful, another pack of Sugru!!  What is Sugru? Well, I think I have raved on about it before – but I shall bore you all by doing so again as, once you have tried it, you too will be hooked….

Imagine Blutack – but even easier to squish and mould – which sticks, permanently, to absolutely anything and when left for 24 hours, became totally hard, yet remains flexible – is totally heat and cold resistant – and dishwasher proof!! Well, that is Sugru.

I have only used it so far to mend a Grammy (metal needing to stick to metal), attach a heavy knife rack to the side of a fridge (Velcro fell off at once) and mend the holes in a pair of dearly beloved but very ancient and holey shoes. But others have used it to drop-proof their camera, to mend their leather biker trousers, make heat-proof handles for saucepans, fix the cracked edge of a Macbook, repair broken power cables, mount a webcam to a tripod, make a 14 pin two row connector, seal a leak in a car engine joint, mend their snowboarding gear, or personalise their fencing  epée – for use in Olympics…. And that is only a tiny fraction of the bizarre uses Sugru enthusiasts have found for the stuff!

Drop proof your camera

But not only is it great stuff – but they have great style. Start browsing their website and you will be there for hours just checking through their gallery of ‘amazing fixes’ – not mention watching their video gallery of how and why to use Sugru….. (Yours truly features for about ten seconds somewhere in one of them!!) The story of how Jane came to discover  and make/market Sugru is pretty interesting too.

So short of a Christmas present? A nice little pack of Sugru. Only just over a tenner for  eight multi-coloured mini packs or £6.50 for three mini packs. No matter who you give it to, they’ll bless you for it!!

A food fad won’t kill you – an allergy will

There has been a predictable outcry in the allergy world this week’s in response to Rachel Johnson’s piece in Thursday’s Evening Standard on ‘dietary requirements’ and food fads. Being charitable, I am assuming that she has never suffered from or lived with someone with a food allergy. However, I do have some sympathy with her …

Bioplastics – a solution or part of the problem?

Everyday Plastic is a social enterprise group using accessible learning and publicity campaigns to reduce the amount of plastics used daily in our society. It was founded by its current director Daniel Webb who, having moved to Margate in Kent in 2016, was horrified to discover that there were no plastic recycling options on offer.  …

Indeed, the whole family can happily eat freefrom and never know …

Do not extradite Julian Assange to the US

Julian Assange is being sought by the current US administration for publishing US government documents which exposed war crimes and human rights abuses. The politically motivated charges represent an unprecedented attack on press freedom and the public’s right to know – seeking to criminalise basic journalistic activity. Assange is facing a 175-year sentence for publishing …

What to believe – applying critical thought

For the average citizen evaluating the claims made for cure all – or even improve all – health products and procedures has always been difficult. Not only is it an area in which we have minimal expertise but most of us have a vested interest in finding a miracle intervention that will solve our health …

Could wireless monitoring devices be killing racehorses?

Regular readers may remember that back in August last year I alerted you to a posting on Arthur Firstenberg’s Cellphone Task Force site about phone masts and bird flu. Could there be a connection between the fact that the two wildlife sites in Holland and Northern France which had suffered catastrophic bird flu deaths were …
