Have you tried your new pick up system with a tape installation, no glue? I think if you could provide a working tape only installation, people would be interested. I know I would, even if it required a Tone Dexter to strengthen, or clean up, or whatever you want to call it, the pickup system.
If I wanted to try it, do you have a tape you would recommend?

I have done a few partial install experiments using double sided carpet tape which I believe is 3M double sided adhesive tape 254M. It is .003 thick. I did not measure any significant difference in the sound transfer, so if I were going to do an Ultra Tonic Pickup installation using tape instead of glue, that's what I would use. I have fairly high confidence it will work fine, but am not 100% sure.
Another choice would be 256M at .0045" thick.
And, I now have more pickups in stock.
