Sugru: Mouldable Glue

Awesome news!

Sugru now comes in a choice of 10 colours!

 

It's a big day for Sugru. One of the things we are asked for all the time is... more colours. Well, after extending the shelf-life to 13 months in June, we got right back to work in the labs. Today we're launching not just one new colour, but exploding the range from 5 to 10!

Yup, It's time to get excited.

 

To celebrate, we made a video! Enjoy!

Everyone knows Sugru is handy. Well it just got even handier... if you see what I mean.

 

Introducing the new Sugru shades...

After lots of facebook and twitter vote counting and even more lab work, these are the winners. Drum roll please...

Proudly introducing... Awesome Orange! Woody Brown! Panther Pink! Mossy Green! And Silver Grey! 

We also built a gorgeous new online shopTake a good look around the full range with lots of great photos and get inspired which colour you want for your next project!

 

It's a moment! So we're doing Global Free Shipping on all orders this week :)

 

 

Hang awkward things in awkward places

Helmut in Germany wanted to hang a wall clock in his bathroom. The design of the clock meant it needed to be hung by a nail, but he didn't want to drill into the tiles. By bending the nail and using a piece of Sugru, he made this strong, waterproof and clever little solution. What a great idea!  

This is one of my own Sugru projects. I brought this stone back from holidays, and I've always thought I'd love to hang it somewhere. Well last weekend, getting excited about our new grey Sugru, I finally got round to Sugru-ing a small hook on the back, and now it's sitting pretty on our living room wall.

 

 

Get ready for winter - do all the little fixes you've been lining up

Whether it's little things in the garden, on the car or on gates or railings like Mike has done here, now is a great time to patch things up to help them make it through another Winter. Just think how good it will feel when it's still strong and fine in the Spring.

"This is how I used Sugru to fix a cast iron railing outside our house in Cork. Rust had caused the upright rod to be worn through at the base. I used the Sugru very effectively to fix the problem as can be seen on the photos - great!" — Mike, Ireland

 

Adapt things so kids can use them too

Like Maurizio did with this coatstand. "My kids couldn't reach the top for their coats. A few coloured hooks and....the stand is used by my children and it's not looking so sad anymore either!" — Maurizo, Italy.

Other ideas for giving kids more independence with their things are protecting phones and other gadgets with Sugru bumpers, and marking their wellies with left and right so they can put them on without you, like the very cool Gia did. 

All ideas very much worth copying this weekend! Set aside an hour and go have wander with your Sugru goggles on - you'll find things will just appear in front of you that can be improved :)

 

Sugru is coming to 2,000 RadioShack stores across the USA!

Even more news! And another milestone - we've just shipped our largest order ever, to RadioShack :) Here are our iron men Pawel, Karim and Francis loading 1 of 3 pallets that made up the order... high fives all round to our incredible production team. And... look what just happened to our USA stockist map! (and that's just the New York area!)

 

 

And... Fix of the Month!

"My husband is blind, and a lot of microwaves these days have flat number pads that give him no indication of where to push to enter the time or make it start cooking! I Sugru-ed a solution and now he's really happy about being able to cook himself a cake in a mug or some microwave popcorn (you know, all those health foods blokes love :-) while I'm off at work." — Belinda, Australia

Read Belinda's full story over on the gallery. Belinda, you rock! Lots of Sugru and a lovely  t-shirt winging its way to you very soon.
