He's talking about using something (I guess like foam) that can be molded to any shape. So he wants to use it to contour to his hands for a comfortable grip.

But thats what you make a vacumme mold for.

Or maybe use something like Plasti Dip:

Just coat the grip area with it.

It's the process of melting a plastic sheet until it sags, then placing it on a form (called a negative? not sure) of the portable you want to make. Then you use a vacuum to suck all the air out betwen the plastic and the form, giving the plastic a near perfect shape of the form. There are lots of links in the Case forum, try looking there on how to make a machine from scrap.

And please don't bring up old threads, k?
