Gangplank Open Hacknight: Sugru Build Night
The Discovery of Sugru
Just recently I discovered this awesome product that helped me make things and think about making stuff in new and interesting ways. It’s this stuff that feels like putty, but it’s so much more. It’s a self-setting, moldable rubber called Sugru. Right away, I have a number of uses for fixing things. It’s waterproof, heat tolerant, and adheres to just about anything. Even if you don’t make stuff, it’s immediately useful to the world for fixing. The great thing is that it’s not even really a challenge for making either. It’s your own moldable rubber. That’s awesome, right!? How many projects can you think of that you have where you would improve it if you had your own moldable rubber? Or how many projects have you not been able to get off the ground because you couldn’t fabricate your own rubber?
Gangplank Hacknight Sponsored by Sugru
Well, that was me. I was that guy that had projects I couldn’t complete because I didn’t know I needed Sugru. The great thing is that the guys at Sugru recognize this. They sent Gangplank Tucson a good amount of Sugru to help us get you started or maybe even re-started on your project. They are sponsoring a Sugru exclusive hacknight at Gangplank Tucson.
