A friend gave me a very practical gift, and it is definitely a DIY essential for repairing minor fixes around the home. It's actually mouldable glue, I never heard of it until now, but it is so practical.
The brand is Sugru, and I think Bunnings has an alternative as well. I like this version because you can get it in different colours and it is very durable.
I used the red version to repair a rip in my computer cable which connects into my laptop. These are common rips as they are stress points in most cables. I couldn't replace the cable as it was an old Apple product and decided to use mouldable glue.
It was very easy to apply, I just moulded the glue around the cable, then let it set overnight. It has been nearly a year now and still looking strong. We also used it to hang picture frames and moulded the glue into small hooks. Lots of other ideas here.
