of gook and klutzes

[Nichols]

We used to get some stuff from an upholstery supply, called..... foam 
glove? liquid glove? Sumptin' like that. Spray can, kinda shaving-cream 
consistency... put it on, and the spray adhesives don't stick. Wouldn't 
stain fabric. Great stuff. Haven't used it in years, but you might give it 
a try if you can find it. Upholstery supplier should have it.
