A pen top full of polymorph plastic pressed onto the existing control would
probably work just as well, the plastic would mould around the shaft. You could
use it like a key when needed to turn the control, and then leave it to one
side so they dont move / are not subject to bumping in the bag changing the
trim level. I hardly use the trim, set them to around 3 oclock followed by the
main gain as appropriate.
