Glass Call Mainenance

[Curtdawg88]

What abrasive substance does everyone use to rough up their glass pot calls?  I have that Primos thing, I forget the name of it that has multiple surfaces to use.  What is everyone else's abrasive of choice?

[cahaba]

100 to110 sandpaper or emory cloth.

I use the primos slick stick diamond cutting surface and finish with fine sand paper.

Same here.

I'm only using 60 grit on mine, should i step it up? This is my first season using a glass call(got it new), so i'm pretty clueless.

You can work it with 60 but need the finish with a fine or that's how I does it .

Sweet, thanks for the heads up.

Primos Slick Stick is a great product, has mesh, stone, scouring pad, and chalk all in one tool.  1Up Game Calls has a sanding stone that is an excellent grit for glass calls, does a super job!

I usually start with 110 and then go to a conditioning stone. Sometimes it's only one or the other- depends on what the call likes.

I get rid of all the glass dust. If the striker won't grip the cleaned surface I find a striker that will. Leaving the dust just makes the call start slipping for me.

Let me let you in on a secret, go get you a diamond knife sharpener like the one on the site here I put inside this post, use the fine grade ...it will condition the glass in no time and save you a lot of rubbing with just common sandpaper.

Then if you feel the call is too raspy, follow it with some scotch brite....

Sheetrock mesh is a god start and you can use fine paper or scotchbrite behind it.

That's a new tip for me Pappy, I'll try that.

[misfire]

I use 150 grit sandpaper. 60 is real aggressive

I spend alot of time tuning the call. Even the strikers act different and give a different sound according to what grit sandpaper one uses.
