Sticky neck on open air gigs

So is it just a bit rubbed on to your fingers?  Does it last for the whole gig after that?

Depends on the gig.

Depends on the gig.

And the fingers

Does talc dry out the wood on the board?

Not that I’ve noticed.

Another talc user here. Just a bit not needed to re apply myself but I guess it depends on how hot the gig is and how much you sweat.

Just had the 3rd festival on the bounce. While tonight was no where near as hot or humid, just popped a little on the fingers and back of the neck….. omg revaluation! Utterly brilliant. I forgot to do it on the second guitar and while it wasn’t as bad as previous weekends, it was definitely less slidy- convert here. Thanks for the tip

This is what happens if you do it in a rush while the next song is being counted in.
