Just finished making a couple pot calls with copper surface. I know nothing about copper calls. What should I use to prep them?
Sandpaper--if so what grit?
Scotchbrite pads?
Something else?
Thanks
Scotchbrite , and let her roll.
Try putting the belt sander to the copper surface before you install it on your next one and see how it works.

X-2 Will make it look brand new. Go in one direction, ok to go in different directions getting your edges to look good. I do my edges first and then the middle.

I do rough sandpaper to get it started - 80 grit or so, then I switch to the scotch brite. I also sand the underside of the copper before I glue it up. There's usually a burr around the edges so I figure that will get it to sit a little more flush.
After scotchbrite use a little alcohol pad on the copper. It cleans it up nice.
Thanks for the help guys. I believe they have some potential.
I think MYingling has a video post somewhere here on the forum that's a great demo on how to condition. You might try to find it...
I have one of the Lightsout copper Osage and he recommends 320 grit sandpaper.
I use scotchbrite then rotate 90 degrees and scotchbrite it again. Works well.
Heres how I go about it but few different ways
