Grace got me this fabulous substance called Sugru (sugru.com) which is the fantastically weird and useful polymer putty that I’m finding all sorts of uses for. First I am adding some waterproofing to one of my solar panels while also preventing the cable from getting crimped when I strap it to the back of my bike.
