can a person condition his glass or crystal calls to much? What I mean is, on a new call is it better to put a good conditiioning on them or really condition the He77 out of them. What and how much do you guys condition a new call?
Listen to it "LUKE" it will tell you what it needs .
what are you using to condition? After reading about armoretch on here, I got some and it is awesome.
Good Luck,
Chris
you can go too far..... how far is too far? you'll know it when you find it. i scratch my surfaces just enough to get the sound i am after and then stop. no sense in pushing it after you reach that point.

I got just about everything, primos slick stick , a regular sharpening stone that I have used, dry wall screen, stumpys conditioning stones, all kinds of different grit sand paper and emery cloth, pappys diamond wheels. Is armoretch the acid etch that you get at a hobby store, I have some calls with that on them and I still conditioned it alittle more... wasn't quite what I wanted, but it gives you a good base to condition it some more ..

good point, but sometimes I think it could sound better then when I condition it more ,,, it doesn't
It seems I always end up with slick spots. Or it seems that way with certain strikers. I am very new to the game, but I look for the sweet spot and try to keep that sounding good.
