RE: slate call question
Just sand a small area that you need to call on maybe the size of a 1/2 dollar dont sand the entire surface due to fact it will take away alot of the sound the crystal will produce...

MrGobbler...is this advice you gave only with a crystal calling surface? Do you do the same with other surfaces such as slate, aluminum, etc...?? I have always sanded in one direction over the whole call. I start with pad down on the nine 'oclock position and go all the way towards the 3 'oclock position and then pick up the pad and repeat.

RE: slate call question
I pretty much condition my calls the way r33h described. One direction only, then I strike across the direction I sanded. I've been using the Primos Slick Stick the last couple of seasons, its pretty convenient.
