From the maker:IMPORTANT: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free of dust + grease. After use, wash hands thoroughly with warm soapy water and a rag. May leave a mark on surfaces or stain fabrics. Cures 3mm deep in 24 hours, deeper pieces may take longer. Use at 21 degree C if possible. Cold will slow down cure time. Do not use sugru to hang heavy objects. Keep out of the reach of children. If necessary, sugru can be removed by cutting off when cured. Do not sand. Recommendations and suggestions are for guidance only as conditions of use are beyond sugru's control. Store in a cool dry place below 21 degrees C. See individual sachets for best "before date".

How does sugru work? sugru feels like modeling clay when you take it from its pack. Once the pack is opened, it starts to react with the moisture in the air to cure into a durable silicone rubber which is dishwasher proof and heat resistant to 180°C.
How long does it take to cure? At 21°C, you can work with sugru for 30 minutes before it starts to cure, then it will cure to 3-5mm depth in 24 hours. Deeper pieces may take longer.
Can I speed it up? You can speed up the cure by leaving sugru in a warm place. +/- 10° C will roughly halve or double the cure time.
Does it stick to everything? No! sugru bonds best to natural materials like glass, ceramics and metals. Surfaces must be dust and grease free to form a durable bond. It sticks brilliantly to some plastics - but some are are impossible to stick to!
Is sugru safe on skin? For most people sugru is safe but it is possible that sugru may cause an allergic reaction to some people with sensitive skin. Once cured, it is safe for everyone.
Is sugru food-grade? No, sugru is for general use, it’s not for use it in direct or prolonged contact with food.
Is sugru biodegradable or compostable? No. sugru is made to last. We believe it is good for the environment because it is durable and helps you keep your things for longer instead of throwing them away.
What if I change my mind, can I remove it? You can cut sugru off with a knife and then carefully remove the residue.
Does it have a shelf life? Yes, we guarantee a shelf-life of at least 6 months to end-users right now. We’re working hard in the labs on extending this, but in the meantime we recommend you only buy what you will use in this time.
Where is sugru made The Company behind sugru is called FormFormForm. They are a young team of product designers, scientists and other nice people - They make sugru in their very own factory in East London.
