Using the thickest of the adaptor cable, begin pressing down cable into the Sugru.

Further mold the shape. Keep the cable centered with one side (outer) of the Sugru forming a tidal-wave shape over the cable and the other side (inner) flat with a slight upwards dent.

Cut Off Any Excess

Using a small screw driver, reinforce the cable holder by gently pressing inwards excess Sugru so that all sides are relatively even. Cut off any excess Sugru from the sides using a metal ruler. Reshape if needed using your index finger. Carefully.

Do You See the Letter C?
