I think this one was done a few weeks back, nevertheless, when I watched the video the last time, I got the impressions that they were making it look a lot easier to do stuff with it than it actually is. 🙂

Various other things which are almost certainly better for that - and a lot cheaper. Polymorph and Sugru are the two most obvious. Normal hotglue (which this is kind of a variant of) might do the job as well.
You can be the proud owner of one for around £100
