Has anyone tried this? (SUGRU)

Post by sirius-c »

I had a night of trawling the web looking for something to repair a couple of ripped rubber seals in my Z3.

I came across this stuff and it looks very impressive.

Has anyone any first hand experience of using it?

I haven't, but in a strange coincidence this is the second time I've heard it mentioned in two days, having never heard of it before. I work in publishing and we were contacted by the manufacturer to see if we'd feature it. If you do try it, I'd be interested to hear how it works out.

I used it to repair a car key fob a couple of years back. still good to this day and it gets a lot of movement in and out of pockets, ignition. Very impressed it was easy to shape, smooth etc. I have also used it to make a dash part for a starter button.

Have used it for lots of stuff around the house.

Gets my vote.
