At our makerspace we have a lot of simple wood door stops to keep doors propped open. Unfortunately the wood-on-wood action of our doorstops and floors can cause slippage of the doorstop or nasty scuff marks on the floor. A simple solution to this was created using Sugru.

Materials
- 1x simple angled piece of wood that fits under a door
- 1x packet of Sugru

Apply Sugru to Doorstop

Take a fresh packet of Sugru and evenly apply it all to the enter bottom of your makeshift doorstop.

Let Sugru Set

Let the Sugru set for 24 hours. This can be accomplished by setting your new door-stop somewhere where it won't be disturbed.

Finished!

Now that your new Sugru enhanced door-stop is set, you can use it to prop open your favorite door on wood floors without worrying about slipping or scratches.
