I use a green scotch brite pad to condition slate.  I've heard of people using different types of scotch brite pads (RED) to condition calls.  Is red softer or coarser and what calling surface is red good for?  I looked at Lowe's and another home store Value, but can't find red.

The red scotch brite is coarser. I have tried it on slate but it seemed like it took too much off the surface. I don't think it would be rough enough for glass or crystal but i haven't tried it.

I use the red on alum and green on slate

I use the green on glass once I get it conditioned real good with sand paper and it works just can't press to hard or it makes it to smooth I usually re hit it with 120 grit after I use the green a dozen times or so

I like fine sandpaper, especially for my ceramic and glass pots.

Green scotch brite and a glued piece of fine sand paper on the other side to touch up the strikers in the field with. :firefighter:

Green scotchbrite on slate because you aren't trying to scratch it but clean it.  Anything more is just removing material and shortening the life of the call.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

I use green Scotch Brite  and alcohol preps on just about everything.  I never use sandpaper unless I intentionally want to remove material.
