I have a friend who is tetraplegic and he has used this a lot around his house to help make light switches etc. more prominent. He rates it very highly. It comes in fairly small packages so for larger solutions you will need several packs. I’ll ask him about the removal aspect, although as it is designed to stay fixed, it may not be so easy.

No but I’m buying a pack to put in my work bag and will get back to you! It’s going to be perfect for making hooks for hanging neck switches so they aren’t left dangling, etc… I think I’ll solve a multitude of problems with this stuff! (wonder how easy it is to get off surfaces????!)

I thought this stuff might be useful for people with partial hand loss, who could make personalised grip shapes, or people who need to hold a button to operate their ECU in a particular place.

Have any of you any experience with this, or similar stuff?
