Sugru works well with soapy water if you want to make your surface and edges smooth .

That being said get your soapy water dip your fingers in the soapy water and run them over the Sugru with it.

Now that we have our Sugru smooth we need to add our grip lines so take your knife handle (or any equivalent ) and just mark the lines across edge as seen in picture .

You can end here if you want your Camera now has a new grip just let the Sugru set and you good to go or add the 3rd optional pack of Sugru in the colour of your choice to give your new grip some character and add the grid lines.
