Slippery when dry!
« on: January 14, 2013, 02:47:41 pm »

My Canon SX150 has a sort of 'silky' / 'satin' finish to the casement, which annoyingly, makes it quite slippery in every day use.... anyone got any ideas of something I can "paint" on some areas of the case to give it better grip?

No I don't want to slobber a load of gunk on it but some might be able to come up with a "slick" idea!?

If you were using it on a sailing boat you could use Slooper glue  :embarrassed:

Maybe some thin self adhesive foam rubber or felt placed where you would grip the camera.
