Making silicone parts for the RV
Well, this may have been one on our most over complicated projects, but it's something I wanted to play with and I needed an excuse (not necessarily a good excuse). I've been wanting to try Sugru for a long time now and never got around to buying some and when I saw a video on How to make Proto-Putty I needed to give it a shot.

- Food coloring
- Something to mix the silicone
- Disposable plates or bowls
- Maybe some disposable gloves
