            Yes definitely interesting.

            It kinda reminds me of sugru or heat shrink but in a more squishy way. I'm not sure i'd want to use it as a replacement for proper fixings like an iffy looking wall socket or a g clamp tommy bar, not sure it would stand up to that.

            Maybe he could demonstrate how to form nice clean looking joints rather than looking like a piece of chewing gum every time it's used, doesnt look good as a permanent fixture and sure as hell wouldn't go down well with the missus using to repair kitchenware. It just looks awful!

            maybe some more neutral or staid looking colours to blend in rather than sticking out like a sore thumb? Any kind of sealant, epoxy or filler goes down this route because thats deliberate. Its not bright pink because people want it to blend in with their wood, or metal or white pvc.

                It's a flat piece of what you can buy as 'mouldable plastic pellets' for about £15 a pound. @Polymorph' was the first one to become commonly available.

                  Yes, there are definite echoes of Sugru there. Although there are innumerable manufacturers and forms of elastomers, Sugru is presented as some form of breakthrough material, when it's nothing of the sort. In fact, its triumph is in having identified and marketed a suitable choice of RTV material in small quantities for hobby use at inflated prices and thriving off the vast margin. Nothing wrong with spotting that opportunity and successfully exploiting it!

                  Similarly, FORMcard has the exciting, funky music, wild colours, personalised storyline and groovy website, yet the basic product is an absolutely mundane commodity. True enough, it's a handy size and format although I notice it's not even available yet. I might have bought a few pieces to go with my Sugru if it were….
