How else does moleskin get used?
I use most of times PSC millimics.
The "Gaurd Mount "goes perfect into the cavity of the chest ( if the
talent has one !!)
I built specials " guard mount " for mke2 with a little rubber circle,
and a good polish semicircle.
Ah !, i polish too the guard mounts from psc ( now they shine, and any
cotton fiber can be hooked by it)
But a lot of hair chest is always a problem in this set up.

If you're using a sonotrim, why not use a vampire clip instead of a bunched-up
piece of moleskin? You can use it in the way Doug T. explained. Thread the
"fangs" through the second layer of the double-stitched collar for
invisibility, dress the cable properly so it doesn't pull on the collar (you
can use moleskin to secure it), and the fabric will look fine. The vampire
clip will prevent any rubbing of the microphone element against the shirt, and
a cotton T-shirt will be unlikely to give you any acoustic clothing noise.

If talent's okay with it, you can also use a similar sized-piece of moleskin
(or a band-aid, or anything soft and skin-safe) and attach the mic directly to
the skin in the chest cavity. But it's always good to ask permission first,
and skip it if the actor is sweaty as the moleskin will inevitably loosen and
fall.
Good luck!

Yeah, I have, but most T-shirt collars are low enough to clear the jawline. A
button-down shirt collar is a different story, and I certainly wouldn't
recommend this as a good spot.

the shirt. If
you are careful when pressing the tape on you won't have a dimple. The thin B-6
wire
doesn't read and the tape on the back side of the element is quiet even against
the
hairiest of chests.
