sugru FAQ

• How does sugru work?
  sugru feels like modeling clay when you take it from its pack. Once the pack is opened, it starts to react with the moisture in the air to cure into a durable silicone rubber which is dishwasher proof and heat resistant to 180°C.
• How long does it take to cure?
  At 21°C, you can work with sugru for 30 minutes before it starts to cure, then it will cure to 3-5mm depth in 24 hours. Deeper pieces may take longer.
• Can I speed it up?
  You can speed up the cure by leaving sugru in a warm place. +/- 10° C will roughly halve or double the cure time.
• Does it stick to everything?
  No! sugru bonds best to natural materials like glass, ceramics and metals. Surfaces must be dust and grease free to form a durable bond. It sticks brilliantly to some plastics – but some are are impossible to stick to!
