Light touches (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

dabs

pats

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">light touches</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for dabs that I've seen before include "Fingerprints (colloq.)" , "Applies light touches" , "Fish; fingerprints" , "fingerprint" , "Small quantities of liquid" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today, The Washington Post, the Universal, The Wall Street Journal, the L.A. Times Daily, the LA Times, the Newsday.com and the Newsday.
