What do you prefer when cleaning , touching up striker tips ?
Scotch brite for me b/c I clean them almost every time I use them so I really never have enough build up to warrant sandpaper...
use both !! :icon_thumright:
I lightly hit mine with 220 grit sandpaper. In my experience, scotch brite pads tend to smooth out and/or polish the tips of some strikers, especially dense hard woods like exotics.
I use Scotch Brite on my slate calls and a conditioning stone on class/crystal calls .I don't condition my calls very much, but use some alcohol pads when it needs a little touch up. It works good on my strikers too.

Alcohol pads are great for all friction surfaces. I don't use sandpaper unless I intentionally want to remove wood.

That's what you want for a dense exotic wood striker tip.
220 sand paper.
