An update on Sugru

I wrote about Sugru a couple of months ago, indicating that it looked like an interesting product and one we would like to try.

We ordered a sampler pack from Amazon and tried it out this week to repair the electric cable that connects from Miss Doozie to the Jeep.
These are the instructions - it cautions that it can be addictive...

We got a pack of 8 packets - once you open the packet, it needs to be used, as once it is in contact with air, it will harden to a rubber like consistency. We decided to use yellow.

The cable has a tendency that the connector comes loose from the insulated wire so we wanted a more solid connection between the two pieces.

It was easy to mold.

Dwayne molded it up around the connector to keep the wires and connector strongly attached to each other.
Finished - it looks like it will do what we need! We'll see if it holds the connector to the wire better than was working before.
