    If you're ever in Dublin, the Science Gallery sells the stuff.
    Alternatively, Sugru themselves will sell it to you via mail order. (They also have a map on that page showing where you can buy it from shops in Ireland)

    Does anyone know where in the South West you can buy sugru?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 672 ✭✭✭RevBlueJeans


    Why is Sugru so hard to get in Ireland?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,084 ✭✭✭nastros


    Not that difficult few places selling it as listed previously. Also there are a few sellers on ebay that are doing it too although they seem more expensive.


  • Subscribers Posts: 4,076 ✭✭✭IRLConor


    Why is Sugru so hard to get in Ireland?

    You can buy it directly from the company online. It arrives in a couple of days.

    Just tried to buy it in B&Q Swords but they hadn't heard of it and it wasn't listed on their inventory.

    Is polymorph the same as Sugru ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7 albio


    No, they're quite different. Sugru, for example, is stable at high temperatures whereas polymorph melts above 62C.

    thanks albio, I wasn't sure if there was a difference, was thinking of doing the hand grip of my rifle, but thinking of changing the rifle down the line , so don't want to move away from its original state. Buying a pistol for target shooting is the priority at the mo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7 albio


    Polymorph may be what you need then. It softens above 62C and can, I think, be removed quite easily then. Have a look at the videos on

    Spotted sugru in Maplins in Blanchardstown today, but only in very small quantities...

    Its also very expensive


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,072 ✭✭✭clivej


    As posted before it's for sale in a high street chemist in Kilkenny City


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 672 ✭✭✭RevBlueJeans


    Is sugru available from any bricks and mortar shops in Co Kerry? I'd like to se the product in real life before buying. How much does it cost?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 135 ✭✭Gunney


    Buy it online - it's cheap as chips, as you guys say, and fantastic for grips, palm swells, cheek wells, customizing thumbholes... anything you can think of.

    Because while it's Irish it's also clever ( the idea, not the Sugru - that's just inanimate) and the powers that be in Ireland hate anything clever. I'm surprised they haven't banned it like they're tryin' to ban yer guns


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 672 ✭✭✭RevBlueJeans


    Thanks guys I've only just discovered the topic of this sub forum! Hope fully sugru will come a shop near me soon.


  • Subscribers Posts: 4,076 ✭✭✭IRLConor


    FWIW RevBlueJeans, there's no advantage to buying it in a shop. You're not going to see it "in real life before buying" as you said above. You'll only get to see the silvery bag it comes in! :)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 135 ✭✭Gunney


    Don't forget - stick any unused packs in refrigerator - makes em last a lot longer than keeping em at room temperature


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 63 ✭✭PNA


    B&Q were selling it a few weeks ago


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 379 ✭✭garbeth


    Just got some in B & q. €8.35 for a three pack. It was on aisle 14 Hardware
