Slate call help

[nickhrp]

Got a ol cheap h.s strut ring zone slate was saving for my little girl for when she starts hunting left it out and she got it and left grease spots on from pizza hands is there anyway I can remove this it's 3 little finger spots I would scrap it but it has sentimental value and makes some sweet easy purrs

Did you try a green scotch brite pad?

[nickhrp]

Yeah it helped a little but the spots in the pic just want come out with the green pad

If it doesn't effect the sound of the call...then I'd leave the little fingerprints on it for a keep sake.

Completely agree!  She might get a kick out of seeing those in a few years.....make for a good memory

Guess y'all are right will do it still sounds good just if you work the striker over the spots it's a dead sound

Nick, a little fine sandpaper or even hit lightly with steelwool should do it, but I think I would leave it as well.

I'd try a small spot with acetone. Maybe a q-tip just moisten with it...

Yes or alcohol pad some thing break the oils down let dry ,,,then hit with conditioning  pad

I like to use alcohol pads from a first aid kit. Wipe it, let dry, then recondition with a scotchbrite pad. Works for me

Alcohol wipes then green scotch brite pad

Put some corn starch on the spots about a 1/4" thick, let it sit 4 to 5 days then clean with lemon juice and finish with a alcohol pad.
