sugru helps designer-makers invent new things, like a bouncy kids-cam, a walking stick - monopod, build prototypes, make their plants happy and make tools more ergonomic, amongst other things.
- It sticks to most materials, from steel to cotton
- Colours can be mixed to get a huge range of in-between shades
- It's flexible when cured so great for prototyping parts

1. Build protective bumper walls on your digital camera - the walls also act as great grips.
2. Start by building a protection wall for the lens, make a sausage from a mini pack of sugru
3. press the sausage firmly around the lens ensuring a good bond with the camera
4. press the sausage from both sides to create a wall. The wall is built in 2+ stages, once the first stage cures build the next level as before.
5. Continue to build protective walls around your camera in the same way ensuring that you can rest the camera to allow the sugru to cure between building sessions
6. Leave to cure before building more walls
7. Building a kids camera will take about 3 separate sessions. Be careful not to cover any of the working elements of the camera, mic holes, battery cover etc.
