Can't believe I bought a can of finger-ease today, haven't used anything
like that in 30 years! What prompted it was doing an outdoor gig a few
weeks ago, hot and humid as crap it was. After about 4 layers of sweat
the back of the neck, 1989 strat plus, satin finish felt like it had
super glue on it, was really fighting it on solos.....but I'll be danged
if'n I gonna let anyone see me slap this stuff on! :-) hmmmmm,
perhaps baby powder?

Finger Ease ain't for the back of the neck. I've used Gold Bond talc
for those occasions. Kept a bar towel in my back pocket to dry off
Gold Bond near by when needed. Last outdoor gig we played was in 2004. It
was 100F on the stage. That in itself isn't a life or death situation but
the humidity was like 70%. Had to do an emergency truss rod adjust on
the MIM Strat that day once it warmed up. I've since tossed that neck as
defective.
