Sx60 4way button ring improvement

I just received the Canon powershot SX60 last week. I saw in some of the reviews that the 4way button ring was difficult to operate for some owners with big thumbs. Well, I soon found out that I also belonged to that group. I decided that there must be a bette way. So, with a hot glue gun I proceeded to make an improvement on Canon's design. I put a very small dimple of hot glue on each of the 4 positions (buttons) of the ring. I had to be very careful not to get hot glue into the switches. I just dabbed a little in each position. I found that if you dab it on over your head the ensuing string of glue can be pulled until the remaining dimple is just the right size. I then waited for the glue to cool and cut off the cooled string as close as I could with a small pair of scissors. If you make a mistake it is easy to scrap off the hot glue with a thumbnail.

The result is a vast improvement. See the attached picture of how it turned out.
