While out scrapping, we found this lamp in someones trash.
The reason it was discarded was because the threads were worn in between the top & bottom section and would no longer stand up straight. We thought it was too nice of a lamp to toss into a pile at the scrap yard so we decided to try to repair it.
With a little Sugru, we now have a usable (& straight) standing floor lamp.

Take some Sugru and fill the inside & outside threads in.
Put the two pieces together and twist them a bit to make sure they seat together well and the 2 pieces are aligned properly.

It baffles me to no end how people can just toss things out so easily, especially in this economy, when all they need is just a little fixing up!
Thank you for making such an awesome product that can be used to not only fix things like this lamp but create & improve so many other things! In my opinion, Sugru steps up & "fills in the gaps" where Duct tape leaves off! :) This lamp certainly wouldn't look so pretty with Duct tape wrapped around it!
