Shutter Button Issues 3M Bumpon

I was reading an old posting (from Jim?) about a problem finding the shutter button when there are sensitivity issues in the finger tips.

If I needed to rig something up, I would use those small clear rubber buttons that you can buy on cards (think of those edible dots). I keep them around, because they are placed under the glass tops of my coffee tables to protect and stop the glass top from shifting and/or being scratched. I also put them on other things for stability. They can be purchased at any hardware/home store. After searching a bit, I think I found them..............................................yea!!

3M™ Bumpon™ Protective Product SJ5312 is a self-adhesive rubber bumper designed to be used as feet, stops and spacers. The Cylindrical - Flat Top provides excellent load bearing and anti-skid performance. Clear, 0.50 in wide x .140 in high.
All 3M™ Bumpon™ Protective Products feature a plasticizer-free, urethane composition which exhibits:
•Easy application with 3M pressure sensitive adhesives.
•High skid-resistance.
•Won't scratch or stain surfaces.
•Reduces vibration and noise.
•Will not crack or harden.

Yes, it was a posting by me, thank you. There were a few suggestions that might work as well or better than my idea. My concern with most of them, yours as well, is they might come off in the cold. I shoot a number of day outside during the winter. I know the glue I use will hold in temperatures below freezing so decided to use it. If I ever have a problem with what I did I have about 6 or 7 other things to try though.

Thanks for thinking about me.

Yes, Brett that is the same thing.- I might give them a test drive for the cold weather - then I can keep my gloves on and won't lose them.:)
