Full details

FAQs
How long does Sugru take to fully cure?
Sugru takes 24 hours to cure fully to its maximum strength and durability.
Can Sugru be used outdoors?
Yes, Sugru is waterproof and resistant to heat and cold, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
What is the maximum weight Sugru can hold?
Sugru can hold up to 2 kg (4.4 lb) per application on a variety of surfaces.
Is Sugru safe to use around children?
Sugru has a non-toxic formula, making it safe for general use. However, it is not a toy and should be applied by or under the supervision of an adult.
Can Sugru be painted after curing?
While Sugru can be painted, the adhesion of paint might vary depending on the paint type and surface preparation. It is best to test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
What surfaces does Sugru not stick to?
Sugru may not adhere well to very oily or waxy surfaces, like silicone or Teflon. Always clean surfaces thoroughly before application.
Can I use Sugru to fix electrical appliances?
Sugru is electrically insulating up to 24v, making it suitable for low-voltage electronic repairs. It is not recommended for mains voltage applications.
Troubleshooting
Sugru not sticking well
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried. Remove any dust, grease, or oil before application. For best results, lightly abrade smooth surfaces to create a better grip.
Sugru curing too quickly
Work in a cooler environment. Only open one packet at a time and use the Sugru within its 30-minute pliable window. Avoid leaving unused portions exposed to air.
Sugru is difficult to mould precisely
Use a damp tool (like a wet finger or a spatula) to help shape and smooth the Sugru. Work in sections if performing a complex moulding task.
Cured Sugru needs removal
Carefully use a sharp blade to cut around the edges of the cured Sugru. Gently pry it off. For stubborn residue, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol can help soften it, followed by gentle scraping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply take the required amount of Sugru from its packaging. Knead it briefly to make it pliable. Mould it into the desired shape for your repair or project. Apply it to a clean, dry surface. Sugru will remain pliable for about 30 minutes, allowing ample time for shaping and application. It will then cure in 24 hours to a durable rubber.
Compatibility: Sugru bonds well to glass, ceramics, wood, metal, plaster, painted surfaces, and most plastics and fabrics. Ensure surfaces are clean and free from dust, grease, or oil for optimal adhesion.
Care: Once cured, Sugru is very low maintenance. Clean the bonded area with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the Sugru or the underlying material.
