Conditioning Pads

[Greg Massey]

I use mostly green for everything and a stone ....

I carry this in my vest but this thread has me asking myself why.. The green works fine for my titanium, slate and strikers. It's pretty much all I use.

All great advice....always strike against the grain

Where can you buy the red pads?

Mine was included with a Woodhaven slate.

Maybe hardware store, definitely Amazon.

My hardware store sells them by the sheet.

Pretty much anywhere that sells sandpaper should have the green and red. The following is what I use and work for me.
Slate- maroon pad
Glass- sheetrock screen
Crystal-sheetrock screen
Copper-coarse sandpaper
Corian- alcohol wipes
Anodized aluminum- alcohol wipes
Titanium- Alcohol wipes
Aluminum-alcohol wipes mainly,  every once in a while, fine sandpaper or maroon pad
Frosted or bead blasted glass- nothing
Some of the surfaces don't need anything done to them.

Striker tip, cleaned with alcohol wipes, and if needed, I will use the maroon pad.
I have seen other people sandpaper an Anodized aluminum call. All you are doing is removing the Anodized coating. You can do this making 2 calls from one. All that is needed is the alcohol wipes. Each his own, though.

Hope y'all are having a great season, Have a good one and May God bless, Bo

The color and coarseness of the pad is brand specific.

I only use 3M brand pads, and the red is the way to go for everything....striker tips, slate, alum....even touch up on glass.

And the pads wear out fairly quick. The more you use it the less effective it becomes. When it gets used too much it will actually "polish" and not "remove". I'll use a new piece almost every hunt. Especially on striker tips.

Hardware store should have the scotchbrite you need.
