I was able to fix the unhinged part of light fixture, but now that there's a white color, I can do the other one to match the fitting - yay! Thanks to sugru I don't need to wait on my lazy hubby to fix stuff! Cecilia, California

I used sugru to fix an old soldering iron cord a while back, and that made me happy. Then I gave some to a friend so he could fix his mobile phone power cord, and that made him happy (more than the tape he was using). Then I used it for something that made me real happy. I have a son who is bedridden and fed through a tube, surgically implanted into his stomach through his abdomen. After a couple of months one of the connectors always seems to come apart at the same place. (He’s had a PEG tube for nearly 10 years). When this happens, we have been told to get a new one from his doctor. This is time consuming and seems very wasteful. I start using superglue (ca glue) every week (that’s about all it will last) to reconnect the parts. Then after about a month of that we have to see his doctor to get a new tube. (a process that takes only a few minutes, however the hour drive to the office, the long wait for our turn and the hour drive home is very uncomfortable for my son). The last time the tube came apart was about 6 months ago. I began with the weekly dose of superglue. Five or six weeks later I remembered the sugru packets on my shelf. I didn’t make it fancy and photogenic like all the beautiful pictures of the hacks on your site. But it has been holding for more than 4 months now and is showing no sign of letting go (My magsafe connector is next). Walt, West Virginia
