If your 360 is E-glass they (the wicks) won't work. I have the same problem with my Glasair III, all E-glass. I intend to spray the airplane with a conductive gel coat and attach wicks to that. It also means that I have to bond all control surfaces to the airframe and that my antennas will probably have to be moved to the exterior of the aircraft.
