Peter sent in these photos of his first sugru repair. His ‘testing’ approach is just what sugru needs, afterall when it comes to it, every hack / repair is unique!

I was repairing the perished rubber uppers of my canyon boots with polyester thread and neoprene glue, but I needed something to rebuild the broken buckle strap retainers. I sewed them with a few strands of thread to hold them in place and to give some composite strength, then squidged some Sugru on … better than new. The waterproof nature of Sugru will hopefully hold firm, I’ll test it out on the river and report my findings. I am interested to find out if Sugru sticks to polyethylene plastic and whether it can cure underwater or adhere to damp surfaces (by squeezing away the water droplets). That’ll be my next test.”
