Fix a false car alarm

The red alarm button on my car key fob frequently got pushed accidentally in my pocket, thereby sounding a false alarm. The button never actually served a useful purpose for me, so I decided to disable the button.

The first step did not involve Sugru. I immobilized the red button by sprinkling a little bit of fine-grained popcorn salt around the edges of the button, and then putting a drop or two of instant glue on top of the salt, making sure it covered all the edges of the red button. Then I left the fob alone for a while, giving the glue plenty of time to harden. ("Instant" glue dries quickly in normal use, but this is not a normal use.)

Once the glue was completely dry and hard, the red button was pretty much impossible to push. But it looked ugly. So I covered the affected area with Sugru, resulting in a good-looking fix.
