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-DIY-/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.

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.
