I purchased Lights out Permission Striker and it is slipping and leaving a residue on my slate call. Should I sand it? Any help would be appreciated.
yes but be very easy when you sand it. nothing too course. i use a green scotch brite pad on mine and it cleans up well.
You may also try wiping tip with alcohol wipes.... swab and let dry, sand lightly (fine paper, Emory, sponge, or green / red pad - place paper, etc. in palm of your hand, press striker tip in and turn). That's what has worked for me for general striker conditioning.
