It's this weird stuff called Sugru. It cures to the consistency of hard rubber. It seals things. It works over a wide range of temperatures. It cushions. It glues stuff to other stuff. It insulates low voltage electronics. It comes in different colors. It's workable with your bare hands. It has a silly name. It seems like something you might want to keep in your glove box or your shop. https://sugru.com/
Very interesting product, I will probably sent for some. Your right it looks like it would be handy to have in the glove box or trunk. Thanks for the info. KK
ummm... errr... I guess so. If you can wait 24 hours for it to fully cure. And its adhesive properties might prove to be a little inconvenient.
Link to make your own similar, but not exactly like Sugru substance called Oogoo... http://lifehacker.com/5660936/make-your-own-oogoo-a-versatile-diy-sugru-like-substance
I found this thread when searching Sugru before I did a write-up to make sure nobody else had covered it before. For posterity, here is how I used it on my A. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/creating-simple-isolation-mounts-with-sugru.1018102/ And while it is usable with your bare hands, it can be a mess to clean off. I recommend wearing latex/vinyl/nitrile gloves.
With a shelf life of only 13 months from the date it was Made. it probably isn't real useful in your trunk or glovebox .....
If I carried this stuff to make repairs with, it'd probably be used on a 10 month car. Two pounds, if calced in psi, would be low pressure...
The shelf life could be a concern for keeping it in your vehicle for emergency repairs. But for home or shop use I believe they claim that keeping it refrigerated will double the shelf life.
Yes it does last longer when refrigerated - or kept cool and dark. So for the winter months you could keep it in your car or really a year is fine in your car if you start in the warm months.
