I suspect the lamps are that way simply because they don't bother to
remove it. I saw one over the weekend and it was half flaked off.
I'd say apply it fairly thickly and leave it on until you can flake
it off with your hand. You may have a bit of residue left on the
head but that will vibrate off fairly quickly with playing. I don't
know how moisture would affect the stain after paste removal, so I
would be especially careful to keep the head dry for a couple weeks
to let the stain set. Hand sweat shouldn't be an issue.
