From my own experience and of all my customers, PageRank Sculpting obviously works great if it is done properly.

I concur. but you have to have some to sculpt in the first place, there's no point messing around nofollowing T&C's and Contact Pages, saving like 1/20th of a PR1 / 2 page's link weighting and expecting anything to change.

Exactly! I know many members here who tried to do it themselves, and at the end they were hurt very bad. That is not a job for beginners or intermediate SEOs.

I have used PR sculpting successfully in some of my websites where I had a well defined hierarchy of pages. No point in passing PR to login page or logout page I don't see how people have managed to hurt themselves in this process.

They did. I know several members who implemented the nofollow attribute, but not appropriately, and many important pages of them dropped or disappeared.

There is a discussion about that in this http://www.webproworld.com/search-en...tml#post403724 thread.
