Finally found a way to protect the Chuck's switch

[Poeia]

highping, what a cute little puppy. He's about the same size as what -- a VW Beetle?

Using the rubber grommet just when you're in transit and attaching it with a rubber band might work. The trick would be in not losing it when you take it off.

Here is what I am trying. I took the little silicone washer out of a carto. It works perfectly but won't stay on. I got some Duro All Purpose Spray Adhesive at Lowes. The option is for repositionable bond by spraying only one side. I sprayed some on a qtip and put it on the back of the washer and then pressed it onto the Chuck. Makes it very easy to push the button but not sure how long it will stay on. I will report back.

Thanks lilibet. He is a great dog ...best dog ever



Wow, haven't heard that for a while.
Do they even still sell film?

Just messin' with ya' MickiO But you do know you can get a cheap digital for like 30 bucks these days, right? Probably costs more to buy and develop 3-4 rolls of film.

I can't believe I just now got an e-mail notification for the above post, and I looked at the day, and it shows you posted this message to me 3 DAYS ago!!! . .Not sure what's going on there, I checked some of my other thread, and discovered I had more answers that I never have received an e-mail notification for either, odd, hmmmm..


ANYways, better late than never eh? lol.


LOL! Yeah, they still sell film, ha. We've been talkin about makin the big plunge and getting a digital camera one day, lol. But you know what John, our 35mm Cannon uses the same exact 3v batteries as the Chuck, lol. (Nice!). PLUS, he uses big lenses for close ups, you know, up here in the Rocky Mountains, always nice to have great lenses for getting that perfect shot of wildlife, =).....is it possible to do this with digitals nowdays?, or no, I dunno,


Hubby works in construction and work is tight through the winter, but maybe later on we can get one and take a step up, ha. .I see my printer has some kindof slot on it to use for digital camera, so that's a plus, ha.

That's interesting, which e-cig icarto did you use? .Do you mean like a 401? .You've got me curious, I'd like to see what that carto looks like, Where could I find a pix of one?



Thanks

No not a cart but a cartomizer. When you remove the white end there is a little round silicone washer to keep the juice from coming into your mouth. I take both the white top and this washer out and just use an 801 soft whistle tip on the cartomizer so I have tons of these.

Sorry, I guess I still don't understand which one you have, .Where do you get your cartomisers? I use 801 carts, and the white piece is one solid piece of plastic, there's no washer in it..

HEY! Richie!! .thanks, I'll check it out right now.... Thanks!

I can see how that could work, "thankyou" Rich,

Got an idea: I found grommet roundel 8x14mm (5/16" x 9/16") which are jewelry beads in the same shape needed, everything from mahogany, onyx, obsidian, synthetic turquoise, pink quartz, tiger eye, etc, May need to use a dremmel tool, so it fits nice, or might not need to, I dunno. I'm thinking about ordering one to play around with it and see how it works.

And another type that has a larger that is 5mm hole (3/16") and these are tube shaped beads,for making jewelry) silver, silver with crystals, metal with patterns, crystals, etc,) Could easily

Could just apply these with 3M automotive adhesive spray, and attach it like Giz's Mom used with the silicone washer, just a thought
Would be easy to shape these so they sit nice on a CHuck.

Here's a link tube shaped silver beads:Large Hole Beads : Artbeads.com - Sterling Silver - Presidents Day Sale

And this is the page for the ones made out of different stones or wood, Caprice Beads - Artbeads.com - Gemstone - Presidents Day Sale

Also wondering if maybe they make different colored thick silicone/neoprene washers. (Don't have pix yet, but FWIW, the rubber washer my husband used, is rounded and shaped just like apple jacks or cheerio's cereal, fits around the nut and sits flush with height as the switch)

(Just rolling some ideas around of other things that could be used to protect the switch that a person could use, that would look nice and also accent Jeff's gorgeous artwork )
