It's great stuff, always useful to have some to hand.
One note to keep in mind; unset Sugru has a 6 month shelf life (18
months if kept in the fridge), so best to avoid stock piling too much at
once!

It's fab stuff - I'm on my 3rd packet this year - touch enabling
devices, keyguard adpations, headpointer adaptions (with conductive
thread) and fixing device cases!
If you want some ideas of its usage for AT take a look at instructables
(http://www.instructables.com/howto/assistive%20sugru/) (don't forget
polymorph for bigger things - Sugru is a bit pricey for big jobs.
Available in a number of places e.g.:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1kg-Polymorph-Thermoplastic-Friendly-Plastic-D
IY-/170750078621 )
Removing it is fairly hassle free - you just pick it off. I've had it
stuck reliably to an iPhone for a few months and successfully removed it
all with a little scraping.

very highly. It comes in fairly small packages so for larger solutions
you will need several packs. I'll ask him about the removal aspect,
although as it is designed to stay fixed, it may not be so easy.
