Does anyone use this stuff?

It looks like the most brilliant invention since chocolate Hob-Nobs, but maybe in practice it's a bit crap?

Yes, and it's great.
Expensive and short shelf life though

Awesomely useful. As Alex ^^^ says, it states a short shelf life on the packs - but I used some just yesterday which was supposedly use by January 2014 and it's fine. Just about to use a bit more now!

I've used it for the shower head, it didn't fit the holder, it does now. Put some on iPhone cables so they don't break. I've also heard of people using it to do some emergency car repairs, but requires 24 hours to cure if it's going to get hot.

In practice it's good, as long as you can make it look good!

Yup. Used it to increase the palm swell and vertical-ness of the pistol grip on my FT/R rifle. Fits a lot better than it did when I'm prone now.

Also used it on iPhone charger cables and to reattach the aerial on the car roof.

Jesus, even I'm struggling to remember how to pronounce that inventor's surname. ๐Ÿ˜•

You can make your own, using silicon caulk and corn starch, google it, I think you can find the details in Instructables.
