Hey, I am total the person for needing sugru , endless possibilities....thanks for sharing this Cat!

It reminds me on a little story of Astrid Lindgren (I don´t know if you are reading Astrid Lindgren in USA), in her book about the "children of Bullerbü", when "Lasse" fixed something in the child´s room with cardboard and clue or so, and proud he said :
"such great repairs you only can do if you are a "Muckepicke-Mechaniker" ....
How thrilled he would have been having sugru..haha

I listened to the whole interview, amazing story indeed!
