Thanks for sticking with us! It’s going to be a little longer before you can buy sugru again, but I’m working day and night to make it happen.

James and I made a video to explain the scale-up.

Terrible sound. Hard to hear.

Make sure the investors don’t suck all the life out of the company. Clearly, you’ve got a winning product formula and a waiting, seemingly endless customer pool. It’s the perfect business combination!  However much capital you take I would not give up much control. Perhaps you didn’t have to!

Scaling a manufacturing operation is never easy. Batch production methods can be efficient. Hopefully you can find used equipment. Not sure if there are any contract manufacturers in your area but this may also be an option. Keep it up and may your venture continue to soar!

Thank you for the update!  I’ve been chomping at the bit to get my hands on some Sugru!  I hope you can ship some soon, and hopefully make some money for yourselves in the process.  Happy Hacking!

Just found out about this product and it looks so good I can’t wait to get my hands on some.  Also know several friends who would get some good from it, so good luck with the scale up.

I would love to purchase this product. 
Please let me know when it is back in stock.

Is Sugru conductive of electricity?

I can already think of all kinds of things to do with it once it is available again! Just let me know when supplies are back and good luck with that process fo scaling up.

I can already think of lots of ways to use it: Good luck with the scaling up process and as soon as it is back I will certainly order it.

I’m putting off a very difficult job at my Furniture Repair and Restoration business because I think your material is going to make it easier.  Just get on with the production please. stop67

Would be great if you could bring some to sell at MakerFaire! There’s still lots of time.

I spotted Sugru on “Gizmag”. I should have ordered some right away. Sorry to hear you’ve run out but very happy to hear you are doing so well with it. It’s a terrific idea!
Like (too!) many others, I can’t wait to get my hands on some.
But I suppose I’ll just have to for now.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

With best wishes, and in anticipation

Hello,

We are verry interested to promote Sugru in the Netherlands, we published an article on Sugru in a repair-special of our magazine called Genoeg (enough). The magazine is about simplifying your life. We have a website http://www.genoeg.nl (10.000 interested people a month) and a webshop. We would like to make a ‘repairpackage’ to sell in the webshop, in this package will go samples of new rapairmaterials and ideas, for example a litle package of Sugru, Woolfiller etcetera. Please contact us on info@genoeg.nl, I hope we can work together.
Regards, Heleen van der Sanden

Any update on availability?

Clint Fisher on March 3, 2010 at 8:32 am

WHAT ABOUT ALL THE PACKETS BEHIND YOU???

STEPH on March 9, 2010 at 9:18 am

*ping*

Any update on availability?  I really hope to be able to purchase Sugru soon, as I have a couple of projects on hold.

I know I’m not the only one.

All these blog entry “teasers” about cool hacks only serve to disappoint those of us who cannot purchase the product.

Any ETA?

Thanks!

This looks an amazing product.  Your invention is the ultimate in recycling – what a fantastic idea!  We are looking forward to your production being big scale.  Underestimating your success was not a MISTAKE as there is not actual equivelant on the market. To me the beauty of this product is really with the fact that – with all the talk of gloom and doom in the ‘global economy’ you are providing something to extend and sustain current resources!  YAY for innovative thinking. ( If I was an investor I would JUMP at the chance to be in on the ground floor of this.)  You are headed towards amazing contracts and a very successful business.  Good luck. We will be customers when you have this up and running.  IT CERTAINLY APPEARS WORTH WAITING FOR!!!!
