Removable Golpeador 
Anyone know where I can buy a golpeador that can be applied and removed easily (for a classical guitar)? I think they stick with no adhesive.

I recall reading about this but can't find the thread here or on FT. If anybody knows or can post a link to the thread that would be great. TIA

try a google for "kling-on ultra".
I think this is what you need.

Read some reviews. The luthier put a removable on a crossover he made my teacher and he doesn't like it at all.

i have the kling ons for flamenco. they work fine. leaves lots of air bubbles not the prettiest thing but it works. i've read somewhere that the rokkoman were sturdier and better.

You might try and cut regular Mylar or rigid vinyl, 10 to 12000 thousandths to size and then tape it to the guitar with 4 or 5 small tabs of two sided carpet tape, or clear 3M two sided tape.

You will have an air pocket but it is more rigid than the kling-ons so it has a better sound, imo.
