Reo Button "mod"

[proax9]

I was reading the "How would you improve the Reo" post- quite a few people mentioned making the button softer, 'easier' on your finger....
I only have a Reo Mini, so I am not sure if this works with the grands as well:

The Black rubber tip on a BD 3ml syringe plunger fits VERY well over the button. There's no interference with button movement, and it feels much better on your 'trigger finger'.
I guess you could glue it on, but so far feels like it will stay on*.

Nice idea, with no permanent marks

Time to go hit up the jail infirmary. Great idea!

I used B&D 3ml syringes to mod the infamous clearo-fluxo mizers.
I saved the plunger and I am using the black rubber tip off the plunger.

Few more pics

oh great idea I was trying to get a 1/4" beveled sink washer to fit

It does work, I'm rockin one right now. The BD 3ml syringe has been sitting right next to me for over a year.
Brand new in the package.

Heck I didn't have to get out of my chair and ..... poof 20 seconds later a button mod was complete

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it will fall off if you don't glue it. But I'll test it out.

The plunger from a 3 mL Kendall syringe works great. It looks pointy but feels rubbery and smooshy under my thumb. It also makes it a ton easier to turn the button on/off.
