I tried to fix various things with the all-purpose clay 'Sugru' that can repair anything that can repair even the holes in the boots
If you accidentally wear your favorite shoes or boots too much and a hole is opened, you will have to spend thousands of yen to repair it at a specialized repair shop, etc. It's not ... ', but you can choose to buy new shoes even though you are attached to them. At that time, I discovered the all-purpose clay ' Sugru ' that can repair anything regardless of the material, so I wonder if it can be repaired with this? I actually tried it.
This is the Sugru package.
The characteristics of Sugru are written on the back side, the temperature resistance is OK from 180 degrees to -50 degrees, it has water resistance, impact resistance, durability, it is flexible regardless of the material to be attached. The weight can be kept up to 2 kg.
When I opened it, I found Sugru, which was divided into small pieces.
The usage is like this, it is a simple thing that 'sticks', 'molds', and 'can be reinforced'.
There are 7 bags of Sugru in one pack. There is a version of all 7 bags in the same color, but this time I bought one that contains green, gray, brown, black and white.
So, this is the boots to be repaired this time.
There is a hole in the little finger, and it stands out quite clearly when you wear white socks.
I think I'm going to use brown Sugru ... so I took it out.
When I open it, it looks like this. It's a little shorter than your finger, and the color is light brown.
It bends like the following. It feels like a slightly hardened clay.
At this rate, the color was too bright and it seemed to stand out after the repair, so I opened the black Sugru ...
Mix with brown Sugru. At first, it's easy to crumble, and will the two really mix? I was a little worried, but ...
When kneaded by hand, it became soft with heat and mixed well.
The color is perfect for boots like this.
When I put Sugru from the boots, it looked like this. When I just put it on, it seemed like it would come off immediately, but if I push it in firmly to close the hole and leave it for 24 hours ...
I was able to repair it like this.
Seen from the front, it looks like this. I wore it for about a week, but the Sugru inside did not come off on the way, so there was no problem at all. If you look closely, you can see that there are scratches, but if you look at it from a distance, you can hardly tell. Repairing leather boots can cost thousands to tens of thousands of yen, so if you don't want to repair like a new one and you can wear it normally, Sugru's repair is sufficient. This time it was boots, but it seems that we can repair crevices in sneakers.
I have another pair of boots that need repair, so I will try using them.
This is because the heel part is clearly more open than the previous boots.
Now with the black Sguru ...
I will fill it from the outside.
The material is different, so it stands out ... I thought it was surprisingly nice.
When I actually wear it, it looks like this. The color black may be one of the factors that make it inconspicuous, but at a distance of about 50 cm, the scars disappeared almost completely.
The good thing about Sugru is that it can be used for anything such as glass, plastic, ceramics, wood, and metal. Sugru was left over just by repairing shoes, so I will repair various things besides shoes.
First of all, I will attach it like a hook to
I tried attaching it to both the slightly uneven wood part and the smooth metal part on the surface, but both adhered firmly and did not come off.
There were extra buttons, so ...
Glue Sugru to the back side.
If you attach it to the side of the color box ...
Fashionability increases like this. Depending on the idea, such as buttons and small toys, a unique display shelf is likely to be completed.
You can also use it to repair missing plates.
If you look at it from the other side, you can see that it is completely missing.
I will repair this using white Sugru.
Even if it's the same white, the color is a little different depending on the plate, so it's not that I don't know at all, but it seems that there is no problem for everyday use.
In addition, there was a hanger that was just missing in my house, so I will try using it. If such a 'small item' breaks, there is no choice but to buy it again ...
Repair like this with Sugru.
I actually cured it for 24 hours and then put on clothes. Sugru is a material that is flexible even after it is cured, so the weight of the clothes lowers the left shoulder a little, but it seems that there is no problem except for clothes that are very concerned about the shape.
Sugru, which can be pasted anywhere, can be used for various things depending on the idea. When connecting a router or smartphone to a PC, if you do not have a proper desk, such as when you are on the move, you may have trouble with the location of the terminal, but installing a special protrusion on the back of the PC solves the problem.
The strength is quite high, and you can push it a lot ...
Even if I pulled it to the other side, it did not come off. It seems that it will not come off even if you put it in the bag.
I'm worried that I can't peel it off ...?, But if I insert a cutter from the side and push it down ...
It will come off like this. It has a thin mark, but it could be erased without a mark by rubbing it with a spatula.
You can repair various things with just one, which is convenient. Sugru is the best, but be aware that it has an expiration date. At the time of purchase, there is an expiration date of about 1 year, and if the expiration date is over 2 months, it will not be possible to knead well, so be careful.
Sugru can be purchased on Amazon for 1900 yen for 8 pieces and 999 yen for 3 pieces. It can also be purchased from the official website, and at the time of writing the article, the set used this time was £ 11.99 (about 1700 yen) and the shipping fee was £ 5.59 (about 780 yen).
