Hi Daniel,
This is the kind of thing I was thinking of, but didnt know what to use. I have
used many other epoxy products and there was no freaking way I was going to
even think about putting that on my E-thing, that is just way too messy to be
on something so personal. This slow curing product will probably be the stuff,
once I can get the industrial black, I'll make some moves towards fixing this
physiological problem I have with holding the camera.
To date, the monopod has been the best thing I have found, but it is cumbersome
when travelling, and in fact when getting on a bus in Egypt, I inadvertently
whacked some grumpy ( I dont know why?) German fellow in the face with the
monopod while handling a full packsack and bags of trinkets..oops..
BTW, the 11-22mm has a happy home :)
Cheers.. Timothy-Keith: Randles

If one was serious about wanting to sculpt additional nodules on control
rings or anything else like that the product I would recommend is Milliput.
It comes from a family run company in Wales and is an air curing two part
epoxy putty in the same vein as JB weld. Unlike epoxy adhesives it is much
more easily handled (though still retaining some the adhesive property). In
use after combining the two parts it transitions through a sticky putty
phase into a two hour soft rubbery phase with solid curing overnight. It is
shortly to be officially available in factory black variety and can be found
it model shops or by mail order in the US for $5-6 a pack (3-4 pounds in the
UK). The factory will ship internationally too if you cannot find it
locally.
I just used it (for the first time actually) to fix a design 'flaw' in the
Parker Sonnet pen. Lovely pen with very nice feel and just fancy enough to
be a true fine instrument without breaking the bank. For those who are
curious the pen has a vent hole in the cap due to Euro safety regulations
that can cause the nib to dry out. Pen collectors might have a fit for such
a permanent modification but I say if the pen doesn't work then what use is
it?
