I already have Thread Heaven. Do I need LickityGRIP too?

The instructions say to rub LickityGRIP on fingers until dry. How do I know when it is dry?
Proper application is essential to achieve the maximum grip. Tapping a finger lightly on LickityGRIP will probably not give you enough product to achieve the grip you desire. Really press and swirl your fingers on the LickityGRIP. As you rub your thumb and fingers together, or your fully loaded palms for machine quilting, notice it feels slippery on your skin. In a few seconds the slickness disappears as LickityGRIP is absorbed. Your fingers will feel dewy not gooey. LickityGRIP is now dry and can no longer transfer to your fabric, paper, beads or other mediums and you are ready to roll!

Because LickityGRIP works by drawing moisture from the air, your thimble finger will stay dewy so the thimble will not fall off your finger! Give it a try. You'll never use a thimble without LickityGRIP again!
