I usually use green 3M pads to condition my slate and tip of striker. Do you all use any other methods?
I use the same, just either green or gray scotch - brite ... my only suggestion is to change out those pieces of pad from season to season...
I do have a really small soft brush i will use in cleaning off the surfaces of my pots after conditioning them with a pad or conditioning stone etc...
I use the same on the pots usually green and brown if I want more aggressive. I only use 220 grit or maybe 120 on strikers. The scotch brite polishes the striker tip so never on a striker. But that's my opinion for what it's worth

I was having to scratch my glass pot every trip, sometimes multiple times per trip. Saw a guy on YouTube (I bought one of his pots) and he said to clean 1-2 times per year with denatured alcohol to get all the oils out from fingers, mosquito spray, etc. HUGE difference. Sounded like the first day I ran it.

Are you wiping the scratched spot on the glass pot with denatured alcohol? I find myself having to use either a scotch brite pad or screen on my crystal mistress every hunt and sometimes multiple times during a full day also.
I had to get more aggressive than Scotch Brite pads on my Crystal Mistress.
220 Drywall screen works great.
Scotch Brite and 90% alcohol work great on my slate calls.
Definitely use the drywall stuff on glass and crystal. I try not to touch my surface on calls and yes alcohol will definitely clean it. Strikers are different like I said before. Good luck everyone in the woods. Sadly my season is already over in South Florida.

Yes, whole surface with alcohol. It dries in a minute. Wipe it well.

You should rarely re-stone a glass or crystal call. Usually an alcohol scrub is all it takes. Go to the local pharmacy and pick up some presoaked alcohol pads and keep em in your vest.
Scotch Brit either the maroon or green
I use the dark red one too. Works great

What do you recommend to condition the tip of your Thunder Wonder? I love that striker, it runs just about everything well.
