Fix Anything Putty

The thing with hobbyist and DIY enthusiast is that they like to repair (or take apart) stuff at home or at the workplace. Being the absolute geeks that we are, we want to know how everything works and repair them with style. Be it household items, computers or TVs, we gotta fixem to show the wife/GF what macho men we are and stay adorable. With that thought, NASA scientists (kidding again) invented the All-purpose, fix (or rather some say "hack") everything Sugru Hacking Putty. 

From fixing outer casing of our electronics, cracked pipes, exposed wires, no problem. What differentiates A+B putty and Sugru Hacking Putty is that it's made of a silicone-like material so it's soft to the touch and flexible to a certain extend, so it can be molded in to cushion for pens and handle for hammer too! The package comes in 12 packs with different colors. Just rip them up, and mold it in to the desired shape. Apply it and let it sit for 24hours. The silicone putty will dry and cure at room temperature, and can withstand -60deg C to 180deg C (-76deg F to 356deg F)! Sugru fix-all putty is also water-prove and very durable since it's silicone based. Now our fancy devices will be even more fancier and colorful more than ever. Go Geeks!

Smart Mass Thinking Putty

Now this may surprise some who didn't fail their physics. This is called the Smart Mass Putty. It's a toy for adults (Not THAT kind) which is much much more interesting than the stuff children play with these days. Remember the days of old when we knead and roll playdoh? Now this is going to make playing playdoh as lame as playing with poo in a sandbox. This highly sophisticated compound was developed by NASA to provide entertainment for astronauts while in space. Kidding. It has 4 different physical properties depending on the  pressure and its time scale applied to it. Still sounds too technical?
Here's the breakdown:
A. Low pressure over a long time - Flows like liquid, although very slowly filling up it's container.
B. Moderate pressure over a short time - It stretches like normal putty. It can be kneaded and torn open.
C. Moderate pressure over a short time - It bounces like elastic ball!
D. Strong pressure in short time - i.e. hit it with a hammer. It shatters!


Smart Mass Putty can't be torn easily though, a sharp tear is required to tear it in two. The texture is neat and clean, dust doesn't stick to it easily too. A wide range of colors and visual textures is available to choose from, some even resembles alien goo, Glow-in-the-dark, copper, and latest addition Glass and Magnetic!

According to the manufacturer, there's an ultimate way to play this: Knead it in to a cylinder form, stick it to the ceiling firmly, then finally create a ring indentation (press it) about three quarters down from the top. What happens next is that the one quarter facing down will slowly stretch itself and lengthens like a blob of liquid metal in Terminator 2. The rest of the putty will "flow" down like alien goo, dripping on to the floor below. (Or some unlucky b*tard. wink wink) A small can of this Smart Mass Putty will entertain you for a lifetime in the office or home, or till your girl friend screams at you for playing with your geeky toys again.
