A guide for tip to transmission path contact includes a guide insulator with at least one passageway defined therein. The passageway has a tip passageway end and a transmission path passageway end. The guide insulator has an adhesive surface with adhesive associated therewith. The adhesive may be semi-permanent or permanent adhesive. The adhesive is for securing the guide insulator such that the passageway allows access to the transmission path. When not in use, the adhesive may attach the guide insulator to a nonstick surface of a backing surface.
