In case you haven’t noticed yet, this tool is one of Eduporium’s favorite things. Out of the pack, it feels like sticky play-dough, but give it 24 hours and it will harden into a firm-but-flexible silicone. The final, cured, formed, mold is water-proof, heat-proof, freeze-proof, and fool-proof. It even survives trips into space.


This unique DIY solution is not just a product. It’s a lifestyle. Their philosophy is a simple one: if it’s broken, fix it. If it’s not broken, make it better. Anyone can be a fixer—all they need is the right tool.


Happy fixing, everybody!
