If it works, I nominate to call it the SFT method, or Stress Free Training. :-)

I've thought about it some more, and it occurred to me how to reduce the already minimal impact that the acrylic would have on UV. Think of the movie theater. If you've ever been up close to a movie-projector screen, you will notice lots and lots of holes in the screen. This actually reduces the...
