[london-hack-space] Sugru

[Glen]

I've put a tub of Sugru sachets next to the donation boxes.

It's a stable silicon rubber putty that is easy to mould. It's hard
after an hour. After a day it's dish-washer safe and can take
temperatures up to 180ºC.

I got 100 sachets, if the money in the donation tin covers another
order there will be more.

huh, nice.

how much is it? do you put a catalyst with it, or does the air make it go off?

It cures in room-temperature/pressure air over ~24hrs (depending on
sugru thickness and temperature). It's useful stuff, and it doesn't
stick to cling film or surfaces covered in washing-up liquid. Wrapping a
pen in cling film and then wrapping a spiral of sugru around it makes a
useful cable tidy once it's cured :-)

Is there a figure that you are aiming to recoup per sachet taken or are
you planning to run an economic experient to see how HackSpace members
pecieved valule of the product matches the retail price?

Looking at the site, it should be ~�1/sachet to recoup costs.

The cost to me is a little over £1 each. I've put the price at £1.25
as I expect some to go missing, though if there's a surpuls of cash
I'll put the price down.

can it be painted and worked with after setting?
Can I sand it to a lovely shiny finish?

Wipe if with a soapy cloth before it sets for a lovely shiny finish.
