How much different from say, JB Weld is this?

I know firsthand that JB Weld is horribly messy, and smells bad as well.

Maybe they fixed those problems?

With minimal research it seems that JB Weld is epoxy resin and cures to be hard and unyielding. Sugru seems to cure to a silicone finish, and hence is firm but yielding. Sugru also appears to be more adhesive - JB Weld has to be moulded around something to make it adhere.

Its properties are here : http://sugru.com/about/ : and even to my first glance it seems completely different from JB Weld. Did you bother to look at the web site before asking your question?
