I haven't, but have always wanted to try soft silicone over acrylic. I have a couple of old armature phones that I've wanted to build into a custom. This could very well be the solution for me. Thanks.

Pls post a review if you did the sugru, I'm quite keen to know the result.

Any follow up on this?  I've just found out about sugru and naturally this was one of the first things I thought of.  Anyone tried it?  Results?

I know this thread has been dead for a few months, but I thought I'd point anybody who's looking to this link: http://www.instructables.com/id/Custom-full-ear-silicone-earpieces-via-the-magic-o/.  The comments are good to read too because people talk about their experience after making them.

^Thanks for the link.

 

I am also thinking to use this sugru material to make custom IEMs. Sugru seems cheaper than the radian brand ear plug material and as safe. Someone also mentioned that soapy water can remove/smooth out access sugru.

 

And if you have not read the other thread entitled as "Home-Made IEMs" here at Headfi, here are some useful information:

^ I have not ordered Sugru yet.

Will probably order Sugru in August to wrap around my Sleek SA6s at least. That would not be custom but should increase comfort, isolation and sound quality.
