Did that before building the machine.

Manually it stretches a bit, maybe 50%.

Just by feel it isn't even 2x.

Such low values are generally regarded as the hallmark of a 'tupenny formulation' (low quality rubber). Of course Sugru isn't designed for demanding applications but still: 1000s of hours of formulation work for those values??? Not brilliant, say an old rubber hand like me...

A formulation deliberately low, possibly already extant, patent it and declare Wonderment.

Nobody would have published unrespectable Low value formulae, so no prior art issues.

Therein may lie the entirety of the Smartness.

It's a Consumer Product after all, not a solution to a specific problem.

Partly, probably.

I'm more on clever hyping, just what you need for globalised neoliberal markets.
