GGC - 57 - Vanlife Hacks Using Sugru Mouldable Glue

[@kylemayer7002]

Hell Yes. Get sponsors, I love it. As long as you keep upgrading your camper-van, I'll keep watching I love it.

[@nicholaswillcox]

Wait...a video labeled "life hacks for van life" that is actual life hacks? I'm already blown away. Then the Sugru demonstration? Awesome. Thanks for the video guys!

[@gwyndekker7361]

(Love Paula's little exit walk!) Love the ideas you came up with for Sugru-ing your van!!

[@monteirodesigns]

this is the most amazing product I have ever seen. bedazzled the heels of my boots and they look amazing

[@ginnyd3389]

You guys just make me smile. Thank you.

[@lehuavizsla2606]

Loved the video. The creative ways you used sugru was very helpful. I have the same problem with dish towel, no place that works so definitely going to get some. Also the lights for outside. I have older Bigfoot motorhome & they didn't come with awning lights. Haven't looked at site so I guess the magnets can also be ordered. I really liked the format because of showing ideas specifically for an RV. Thank you so much.

[@dre3375]

You guys are great! Enjoy the Summer!

[@kc329191]

Great job! I bumbled into SUGRU o another video. Definitely getting some too! Best wishes on your travels and thanks for the tips and tricks for the SUGRU.

[@2YsUR2YsUBICUR2Ys4me]

Looks awesome, bought some for our van ...since we're in UK, it'll be here before the weekend. Keep the videos coming 😃

[@SkulpTools]

Sugru is a wonderful silicone rubber product for lots of fixes that require a flexible, waterproof repair - like your wiring. But, if I may offer another suggestion, many of the solutions you showed could be better served with a 2-part moldable epoxy putty like Apoxie, Magic Sculpt [which are available in many sizes and several colors] plus dozens of other similar brands I'm not familiar with. Epoxy putty makes a more permanent, much stronger, and more rigid fix for lots of uses and is much less expensive than packets of Sugru. Plus you can measure out 2 equal portions of only what you need and store the rest for other fixes later. And having been opened, it will keep in a cool place for some years too and it can be easily smoothed with a wet finger.

[@fishface6247]

Thanks for this. I was hype when I just discovered this stuff but WAY too over priced. Apoxie looks fine with 4 lbs for $45

[@Tatiacha]

cool, if sugru had been around when I was born I can't even count the thousands of ways I would have used it in my 50+ years!

[@KernowCamps]

I've been excited for quite some time to try out Sugru but found it to be a bit expensive. However,​ I bought some from Amazon on special offer (half-price) and it arrived today. Since I do not currently have any uses lined up for it I've been searching the net for inspiration and idea's but most that I find are repeats of USB cable fixing and such which, to be honest, is a little boring to me now. This video, however, is great, I love the towel holder idea - simple yet really useful and using the magnets with your hook idea to hang lights is great! Thanks for the brilliant video!

[@stealth48nurse]

Awesome. Love the many colors it comes in

[@deborahr2236]

You're naturals at advertising, good job and congratulations on you new home, I am so pleased for you both, all that space, not so much here in England. Love your vlogs 😀

[@SidecarBob]

Or make your own by mixing cornstarch into RTV silicone sealant. Silicone cures by reacting with moisture in the air so thick pieces take a long time to cure inside.The cornstarch absorbs moisture and carries it through the silicone so it can cure right through quickly.

[@theblindrider6033]

nice to see you guys again!! That looks like a very interesting product.

[@unclelar819]

You guys always crack me up. Love your videos. I have to check this stuff out!

[@SCubDriver]

that stuff looks pretty cool. Nice DIY hacks! I have used JB weld to cover a cluster of small wires soldered together, but the product it hard and inflexible once it sets up. I might have to try this.

[@BackToReality]

I've used a lot of JB Weld as well - fantastic stuff for sure. I DO prefer the flexible result of the Sugru though. They each have their ideal uses, I suppose :)

[@WannaBFree]

Now that is some great stuff. I may have to look into getting some of that. Oh the possibilities...

[@ManWander]

thanks for turning me on to this product - super cool!

[@kb9847]

Sounds like a great product! and a fun video to watch. lol QUESTION: if you only use half like Paula did in the kitchen can you save the other half or does it harden cuz you've opened up the package?

[@BackToReality]

Hey R unners! According to Sugru, you need to use it all once the package has been opened. That said, we've found that if you place the unused portion in a plastic sandwich bag and store it in the freezer, it seems to stay fresh for several days. I'm not sure how this may affect the overall quality of the sugru, but it still seems to adhere and set into rubber like normal.

[@thenoworriesnomad]

Great video and a great product, I'm here in the UK and iv just order some....

[@KellyS_77]

If you're in the USA, you can also find Sugru at most Target stores, though ours only had the black colored sugru.

[@dominiquebt]

This video is hilarious. I'll have to try Sugru! Thanks!

[@1000sunsets]

Excellent stuff - yours and Sugru's

[@RobSteinhauer]

LOOKS very cool just ordered some i have 1 question at Polly used only half the amount in the package for one demonstration of so if you dont have anything do use the other half for is there a way to store it until you need with out it drying

[@BenVost]

I haven't really found a way. You can keep it in an airtight container in the fridge, which slows the curing process, but as soon as you open the packet you're already started that process, so any leftovers you've kept this way don't work as well as the stuff you get when you first open the packet. I guess it's the main reason why the packets are so small.

[@welcometoreality3450]

been using SUGRU forever...great stuff! but choose your projects wisely as it a bit expensive. I never leave home without it (or silicone tape). P.S. once you open a package you cant reseal it so pick a few uses for it (if you only need a dab for your project) as you have to use that amount of sugru or it will harden

[@kampfer_Rose]

love your video and you guys look like a happy couple ;)

[@grayeagleswolves]

Hey that is pretty cool thank you both for sharing

[@j.cheeverloophole9029]

"And I'm really....REALLY exited about it..!" You need to get out more....

[@morganng4339]

Love this video watched it like 10 times, part two?

[@annak6307]

I just bought one! Thank you=)

[@briankane6547]

Closet keeper. Make sure you check polarity, you'll not want the static magnet to REPEL your cord?

[@Ethan-bp9yr]

I love this channel and great like hacks

[@secondyaya]

Great product!

[@johnc5772]

Amazing! Thanks a bunch.

[@StaticCamperVan]

That. Was. Awesome! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@littlegandhi1199]

This was amazing!!

[@IanRM]

Hi Folks, just got my first order of Sugru. Uploaders mention using half the packet on some projects. What about the remainder? Is there any way to re store or seal it so it can be used another time?

[@BackToReality]

Hi IanRM, according to Sugru, the official response is that you have to use it all once the packet has been opened. They recommend not trying to store it for later use. That said, we've experimented a bit by sealing the unused portion in a plastic bag and placing it in the freezer. It still worked fine about a week later when we thawed it out. That said, I can't guarantee that it will perform as well as the freshly opened sugru, but it did work for us. Your results may vary. We hope you enjoy it either way though! :)

[@IanRM]

Many thanks

[@vickiemears1363]

looks like awesome stuff

[@cjjlmorris]

You did fantastic -:)

[@van-gabondramblinrose6398]

Shameless plugging! ;) Looks cool guys. Is this Sugru available in the UK? Peace.

[@BackToReality]

Not only is it available in the UK, it's actually based in London! :)

[@van-gabondramblinrose6398]

Cool. I'm going to have to get me some for my van :) Thanks for the reply. Love your channel guys. :) Peace.

[@bitmln003_]

That is awesome. The would be great for field use. Can you buy it in a store in Canada?

[@BackToReality]

I don't believe it is in stores here yet, unfortunately. Apparently you can buy it at Target stores in the States though. It's one of those products that is great to have laying around in case you need i - because you just never know.

[@abriellashaw3706]

Itoyuntao you can get it on there website

[@TechnoCrossBow]

***Gets first sponsorship***

[@JenShea]

That's brilliant!

[@007nadineL]

Command hooks and tension rods work too. .

[@sharonmoore4381]

Just ordered some sugru 🥂

[@dtzortzis42]

That was really sweet video, thanks for sharing!! Amazing hacks :) Just a tip though, in the end of the video, you have some link to "Subscribe" to your channel. That doesn't work. I subscribed anyway though :D

[@larryz24]

Love your videos, been using sugru for a while now, I love it. I DO have a question related to this video though, and that is: "is insulative a real word?" I guess it could be a Canadian word....... ;-)

[@I_Am_Michael]

[@dogbot555]

I need this in my life. I'm off to Amazon. so many jobs in my T25 going to be solved. yay!

[@hobohacker258]

100% Silicone I (not II) and cornstarch (food coloring if you want colors) Sugru has a shelf life.

[@welcometoreality3450]

your supposed to kneed it for a lil while (thats what activates it) before setting it

[@Giggler.]

Rain was getting into my car through the bullet holes so I filled them with Sugru now I’m all dry..

[@slopeworken]

Ordered but didn't see the discount?

[@slopeworken]

Oops there it is, thanks

[@tinapreciado7845]

Where can I find it?

[@vel1hunnid707]

[@BackToReality]

[@dedmemez9566]

*Only available in Care Packages*

[@cliffordw5753]

Shameless! I would have done it as well! LOL

[@adelaideduck8597]

Where do you get sugru

[@BackToReality]

There is a link in the description that will get you a 10% discount. The product comes from the UK.

[@abemore]

Should have attached a magnet to your dish towel. Or a Lego block. Or a piece of metal, and put the magnet in the mount.

[@nicanonymus2491]

Genial!!

[@Ervin1ma]

But wait, there's more!

[@-fur10us-3]

Oh... You should REALLY CAREFUL cause sugru cannot "survive" through too hot temperatures (more than 180 C) (I think everyone had already knew it...) So if you decide to use it in a super-hot environment, make sure that place (object) has a temperature that must be lower than 180 C.

[@sineadmoylan1065]

Interestingly, sugru means play in the Irish language. Spelt differently though

[@jemmaj2919]

cool!

[@jemmaj2919]

it is so the sort of thing i need in my life!!

[@jemmaj2919]

i'v just ordered 😭😭😭

[@kheaney7896]

4 months ago ???

[@savedby_gracethrough_faith]

Nice but it's very expensive.

[@adelaideduck8597]

Do you have to cut along the dotted line

[@votronimatic]

At £13 for eight,once opened must use blobs,it's around 50 times more expensive than similar products or other ways of getting the job done. This is truly taking the piss.

[@BenVost]

Sugru is something you take your time over. Don't do one job that will only need half a packet, wait until you have two and do them both at the same time. It's a great product that I have used several times but sometimes I have the Sugru in the fridge for months before I come up with multiple jobs to maximise the use of it. I never waste any.

[@TFfan75]

if only you could use Sugru for a new a paint job.

[@briankane6547]

If "Solder" is pronounced "Sodder" how do you🇺🇸 pronounce Soldier? Soddier"? (:¬o)

[@lifeisevenstranger]

Why do you live In a camper van

[@keneyzjaterry7139]

Sylveon_Gaming why are you asking personal questions don't worry about it

[@lifeisevenstranger]

Keneyzja Terry it's not a personal question. They reply freely I seen millions ask about this

[@keneyzjaterry7139]

Sylveon_Gaming well your still in there business.dont be like those other people who said that

[@lifeisevenstranger]

Keneyzja Terry go to there page and check there about page they state why they live there

[@Xplorer228]

If you knew that people ask this question and they answer.. and that they have a page which explains why they live in a van... then why did you need to ask? lol

[@hotfreshrider]

won't somebody think about the Household Formation?!

[@edudyorlik]

Looks like a cool, useful and very versatile product but seriously? It felt like i was watching an infomercial. Please take this in the spirit of -- constructive criticism -- This type of presentation (though slick) is below you guys. Just simply telling us about it as well as where and how you used it would have been fine. Don't get me wrong. I like you guys a lot and your channel is really cool but... If i wanted to see this kind of infomercial i will go back to watching commercial laden, boring and sad network television.

[@BackToReality]

Thanks for the constructive feedback. We appreciate your comment.

[@miksmi]

I thought the ideas Derrick and Paula presented were clever. I've used Sugru for a while and am curious how others use it. You guys missed your calling, you'd make good counselors -- the customized wine glasses might salvage many a relationship. ;) Thanks for the tips!

[@mistermusic140]

I thought the infomercial-style was great. They actually showed many ways the product could be used.

[@xanadu1jw]

It's rather expensive.

[@zazzleman]

seriously. brown nosing alternative advertorial.

[@jochevlogs266]

It's sword

[@777-Phil]

Thumbs down for shilling like a hireling. Just mix corn-starch and silicone. Blessings!

[@Dormousey]

HUN??? So you move into a home like other people but dress up as if you were still in the van and advertise something that I agree may be good but this is totally disigenuous just because you were paid. Either video dates are mixed or you just 'created' the scene to get the money. Not sure I want to watch anymore; I certainly didn't watch this. Are the hugelcultures sponsored too?

[@immski]

He uses the word "whenever" instead of the word "when" like he should. Yes there is a difference.
