Thanks for bringing this up. I checked the above link and I think this will be useful in my ideas.

Interesting stuff… I just bookmarked sugru.com… hadn’t heard of it before… thanks for that Stephanie!
(Seems there’s a 6 month shelf life… but keeping it in the fridge double that)

Interesting materials. One of those may be the answer to making a working proto of a product I have without the expense of tooling. The part needs to be compliant as its shape drives the function. I have tried a handful of things and that Shape-Lock may be the way. The description of being similar to nylon is what sparks my interest. I may hit you up with some questions Eric. The Sugru is neat but too flexible. Thanks guys.

Where do you get it from Eric?

That’s good stuff. I also like Shape Lock. It molds to a durable nylon-like material that is fully machine, sand and paintable.
