Re: capo workFound it.  Here are a couple photos.  Cork block, into which I've epoxied some "tootsie roll" type wood epoxy, which has been molded to match an existing capo profile.  I then trimmed off the excess on top, sides, ends to what worked for me.  
Emery cloth lays over the block just like a normal sanding block to reshape the capo.  BTW, when I molded the wood epoxy, I did so with a piece of emery cloth in place, to give me the proper profile.  Again, this is all assuming you like the existing profile.  Worked pretty well for me.

  I'd love to see a photo of the tool...
