Re: The fluffy half of self-stick Velcro

I've used sugru extensively. It is currently holding together parts of my dishwasher, my kitchen mixer, and my car, as well as numerous cables; functioning as key risers, finger railings, and thumb rests on all but one of my saxes; and serving as grips on all manner of things.

You'd have no trouble getting it flat/smooth. It goes on like Play-doh and before it dries it can be sculpted with any tool you like - I typically use a razor blade, a butterknife, and a toothpick. To smooth it you can put some soap on your hands and sculpt it that way, although the site might have a better way to do that.

You also won't have to worry about it scratching your glasses. It cures into rubber. If you don't get it smooth enough it could collect oils and leave residue from time to time, so be sure to do smooth it well, but even if you attempted to make it sharp I doubt it could scratch glass and certainly not polycarbonate.

Just be careful not to clog the air vents on the VF and you'll be fine.
