I used a stone on mine to rough it up good. Then when it needs a touch-up I use drywall screen.

Drywall screen or sandpaper.  Drywall screen doesn't clog up as bad but 100-150 grit sandpaper works well also.

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field

Conditioning stone left to right, then one direction drywall screen. It will remove the glass dust between the scrapes and should run good.

I use quite a few different things. Always have a stone and sandpaper. Using different grit materials will make the call sound different and make it more versatile. I will say that one of my favorite materials to condition crystal and glass is the roll of heavy duty sand paper from O'Reilly's autoparts. It's about 3/4" thick and about 24" long. I cut it off in 1" sections. It's 80 grit and/or 100 grit. That little piece can be used multiple times and I love the sound I get from it's conditioning. Always wipe the dust from the crystal, so it doesn't clog the grooves in the conditioning and/or clog the striker faster.
