Having a light touch (6)
I believe the answer is:
gentle
'having a light touch' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for gentle that I've seen before include "Mild-mannered" , "Clement" , "Mild and considerate" , "Not violent, tender" , "Jane Eyre's kind person with a book? -- eternal greed (anag)" .)
