Securing Tape Switches

Peculiar Modification Indeed:

Ladies and Gents, I have obtained success, via heat-shrink tubing from Home Depot. Once set, the light doesn't activate (I'm assuming because the pressure is evenly distributed, yet the tape switch is extremely secure. I was taking a gamble, and it worked.

Zip ties (the really small size) and I've also had good luck with using the 3M double sided tape from automotive stores. Cut it down to fit under the pad and affix it straight to the face of the rail on the left side.

I also use a Tango Down foregrip and I run two strips of electrical tape over the top 3/4 or so of the actual switch and just use the very bottom via my little finger. Prevents any white light AD's pretty well.

You can also use bicycle 1" inner tube. Works for me, and also helps make more grip.
