What is the best way to condition  a ceramic call ?

Bowguy

I use sandpaper one direction, perpendicular to way striker is run. Same as glass, crystal or anondized aluminum

Hard surface.  I use a conditioning stone and work it pretty hard.

Conditioning stone and scotch brite.

You can use just scotch brite, but will get slick with humidity. The stone really gets it.

Just clean it couple times season with alcohol wipe or pad and in between while hunting scotch - brite ... I've seen people ruin them with sandpaper and cond  stone ..... I use a ceramic pot more than any other pot call surface ..... keep it warm during cool weather and it will sing ... handwarmer's are turkey hunters best friend ...

Alcohol wipes. Never used sand paper or stone on a ceramic. One of the reasons I like the Ceramic less maintenance

My ceramic came with the stone on a stick.

My suggestion if it did don't use the stone .. just alcohol wipe and scotch brite it every so offten , you can tell from playing when you need to use the scotch brite ....

I used to condition a very small spot on the ceramic surface lightly with the stone, but found that my best sounds came on the non conditioned surface of the pot. I play ceramic a lot and noticed when worked a lot it will over time go slick kinda like anodized aluminum. So as recommended I will clean with an alcohol wipe and condition with scotchbrite when I feel it's needed.i use the scotchbrite sparingly not routinely like on some other surfaces
