How to make a hook anywhere you need it
Organising and hanging stuff on surfaces like tiles, furniture and at your desk is a real pain. You don't want to drill into these kind of surfaces. This simple guide will show you how to create hooks anywhere you want them - on kitchen tiles, in the shower, at your desk.
Sugru Mouldable Glue is a perfect solution for this because:
- You can mould the hooks perfectly for the thing you want to hang
- It bonds to almost any surface
- Sugru is removable from non-porous surfaces if you need to remove it later (great if you're renting!)
What you need to make a hook
- One single-use pack of Sugru
- Time to do this fix: 5 minutes
Step 1
Roll the Sugru into a ball and press onto the wall.
We have made a light yellow by colour mixing. Learn how to make custom Sugru colours.
Step 2
Push the Sugru firmly into the wall to create a strong bond, and then mould the Sugru into the shape of a cone.
Step 3
Your Sugru cone should look something like this.
Step 4
Gently curve the tip of the cone upwards to create your hook.
Step 5
Once you are happy with the shape of your hook, leave it to set for 12-24 hours.
Depending on the thickness of the application, for load-bearing projects, allow up to 48 hours for Sugru to fully set.
Step 6
Once the Sugru is set, your hook is ready for action!
