Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Interesting. Would like to try one, but I don't think I'll be trying the manufacturer's recommended method on my Taylor which doesn't have a poly finish.

Me neither.
The Blutac seems to work fine; just a tiny blob well spread out.
Don't know if it harms the finish though.

Reading up on this again...
We seem to have forgotten about this test
