Turn it into a "packing material" thread. The aluminum legs on my Bogen are like icicles in the cold, so I wrap a 6-inch segment on each leg with a 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch thick layer of packing foam (nearly any type will do, but I like some that gives a little). Wrap around a layer of duct tape to hold it in place. The foam is a great insulator and it cushions the grip nicely. - --Andrew
