Fix the feet on the ball clock from the 70's.

Bad Feet

So this ball clock comes to us circa the 1970's. I bought it brand new still in the box last year. I put it all together and it is a neat clock. Sadly time has not been kind to the adhesive rubber pads that used to be on the bottom of the clock.

Sugru Feet

Luckily the future has brought us new advancements! Sugru should make an excellent substitute for those old rubber feet.

Remove the Feet

Since the feet are screws we need to remove them and then form the Sugru onto them.

Make the Feet

I used a screw driver and an exacto knife to form new feet on the screws.

Let It Dry

After forming the feet on the screws and a square foot down below, all that's left is to let it dry! No more crooked clock for this guy!
