Makes good sense to me. It got me wondering if anyone has ever tried 
"Rain-X," the windshield treatment that makes water shed off the glass? 
I suspect that, like Johnson's Floor Wax, Rain-X would also reduce the 
adherence of saliva on chromatic slides. I just don't play one often 
enough (ever?) to try it.
