When things break down it’s not likely you’ll have the tools needed to make a perfect fix. That’s why for this week’s contest we are looking for quick fixes. These aren’t meant to be perfect, but rather stop-gaps that will let you get by until you have the resources needed for a longer term solution.<\/p>\n

Send us your tools, tips, and accumulated know-how<\/a> that allow for quick fixes when things break down. For this contest we have a special prize pack graciously contributed by Jane ni Dhulchaointigh, inventor of the quick-fix wonder-material Sugru<\/a>. The winner of the Quick Fix Contest will receive three Smart Hacks Super Packs of Sugru<\/a>, and a special Maker themed T-Shirt. Runner up will receive their own Sugru Super Pack. Be sure to check out Sugru’s gallery of uses for inspiration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is no limit to how many tools, tips, and quick fixes you can submit, but remember to keep the following five parts in mind:<\/p>\n

1) a succinct description of what the tool\/tip\/fix is,
\n2) how it changed your behavior,
\n3) why Cool Tools should run it,
\n4) why it is superior, and
\n5) why we should believe you.<\/p>\n

Submissions will be accepted<\/a> until Wednesday, May 11th. This time the author of the most publishable tool\/tip\/fix will receive three Sugru Super Packs (or, if they’d like somethin else they can choose what they’d like from the Prize Pool<\/a>).<\/p>\n

For inspiration, here are some previously reviewed Quick Fix Cool Tools:
\nGorilla Tape<\/a>
\nShoe Goo<\/a>
\nSuperglue Stitches<\/a>
\nTongue Depressors<\/a><\/p>\n

Get fixing!<\/a><\/p>\n
