The last few days I haven't been able to run my glass or copper pots due to the early morning humidity. What are my options as the humidity has been 87% and up.
Should I look into a carbon striker on the glass or copper surface or should I look for a different surface material and continue to use one of my wood strikers?
Thanks for your ideas.
I would suggest anodized aluminum surface with a dymondwood striker. ;D
I have never been one for using acrylic or carbon strikers, but you might try one of these on a glass call.
Give carbon a try on your glass call.
I ran mine with a carbon striker in a light rain last year and it still ran fine.

What makers in the broader marketplace and/or on this forum make the better acrylic and carbon strikers?

Take your pick. Most guys that make pot calls make one or the other or both.

Exactly what Wyndel said. I might add that a bead blasted aluminum then anodized will probaly be better than one thats just anodized.
RainChalk® is the answer.
Gobblerstopper (Andy of Kaisers Kalls) made me a carbon thats really good on my crystal, copper, and anodized aluminum and I never liked carbon at all before. His ivory tipped strikers have all kinds of grab and an awesome sound too
like said anodized or blasted Aluminum with run great in those conditions also ceramic would be a good one as well.

I make a rain striker that I developed last year and works quite well with ceramic and pretty well on glass however it is not suitable for copper,aluminum,slate as it will cut these softer materials. The striker is wood with a special coating.
