Yep, got to be careful there.

What do you guys use to stick them in place?
The type of adhesive has been a big issue for me in getting a good guitar tone with a piezo transducer (and I've used a piezo for hundreds of gigs). I use soft blue putty made for sticking posters on walls. The much harder putty that came with my Dean Markley transducer doesn't sound nearly as good.

The high impedance issue has been mentioned. Yeah, if it's not buffered correctly it'll sound harsh and have a distinct quack to the sound. I've found that every Boss pedal I have works well as a buffer. Just going through the pedal with it powered up but on bypass somehow conditions the signal, and it loses the harsh quack.
