I have to admit to a certain thrill when someone successfully repairs or hacks something EXPENSIVE with sugru, so when Joe from Guatemala sent back this repair he did on his microscope I grinned

“I used sugru to lock in the adjustable eye piece. The threads normally tighten the eye piece to the body but they were stripped and someone had tried to repair it with superglue. The superglue didn’t hold the piece, so I removed the adjustable eye piece, pulled the lens assembly away from the body and pressed sugru into the cavity and used a small flat wooden stick to do the pressing and smoothing. The result is shown in the picture. I did not trim it. I was quite surprised and pleased to have repaired this equipment and save the cost of major repairs.”
