Has anyone had any experience using Sugru?

Apparently it's a playdo like substance that moulds as a glue, people have used to help mount curved GoPro mounts etc but wanted to know if anyone's trial and tested and had any disasters

Ah I'm sure a guy on YouTube called techmoan did a video about it


Might be roadcrafy Nottingham

Yeah, the videos I've seen are people first time using/installing but there's no follow up as if it actually lasted or left somebody's GoPro down the road

RJ did one as well.

Never, but very interested to get some.

 

[MotoDynsty]

Definitely be interested to see how it holds up in riding conditions

Well, I got some through the post yesterday and set it up on the curved mount.. will be out testing it later this week so will let you know if I come home without a camera.

Used Sugru to attach to my helmet. It's been on 2 months now and is as strong as ever. It feels really solid. I've picked up the helmet by the mount and swung it around and it hasn't budged.

It takes ages to set properly though.

What about JB Water Weld or something other epoxy putty? Would that be the same thing?

Just an update. Used it and tried it in hot weather, cold weather and heavy rain - seems to be strong and durable so far. No GoPro's were harmed in the testing It did seem to take sometime to set, but I went on holiday for a few days after I applied it and came back to it fine.
