Sugru is great, but it is not affordable for making larger structures. Added to that is the problem that they have a very limited shelf life and usually must be used within six months. They are also very expensive in small quantities. They all have their difficulties and either set up to fast or too slow. I have tried several kinds of casting urethane rubber and silicone rubber.
Moldable rubber putty skin#
Pic2 shows a 2"x2"x2" solid silicone cube that cured enough in two hours to be removed from its plastic box form.įor years I have been looking for an inexpensive way to create a flexible skin covering for robots and electronic circuits. The intro pic shows a few of the silicone shapes that I made using Oogoo and a funky, smirky, flexible pumpkin head robot LED display. Since I am mainly interested in using Oogoo to embed electronic circuits in flexible forms, this instructable will also show you how to:ġ- Make a soft circuit LED pumpkin head robot display that can be embedded on to clothing.Ģ- Make cleanly etched conductive fabric circuitsģ- Make conductive glue using Gorilla glue.
Moldable rubber putty how to#
It has very good adhesive qualities and will stick to itself, glass, fabric, paper, wood, and some plastics and metals.Ģ- How to cast it or hand form it into different shapes.Ĥ- Several interesting uses for Gorilla tape and Gorilla Glue, see steps 3, 7, 12 and 15.ĥ- How to make a few projects using Sugru and a comparison of Oogoo and Sugru It can even be painted on in thin layers. It can also be made translucent to allow diffused light to shine through. It can be colored any color from white to black. Or, it can be used as a casting silicone. It can be used as an excellent substitute for Sugru. I call it Oogoo, an inexpensive silicone clay that is easily made.
