    Default Waterproof Striker

    Please excuse my rookie question, but if I have a diamondwood striker with a waterproof tip (which seems to not be a wood), do I still sand that striker tip as necessary with like 220grit or just let it be?

    Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I always sand the pan not the striker. I have 3, one of which is plastic which should not be sanded. For me, when the call stops working it doesn't work with any striker. Rough up the pan and they all work fine again.

    Nope not wrong at all as I rough up the pot as well. I just was taught that every once in a while a little 220grit on the striker will rough it up a little and keep it running fine.

    I clean off the striker every once in a while with a green scouring pad.

    Two water-resistant strikers:

    Everyone must be using their strikers and not maintaining them lately, that's what I should be doing ha ha! Just don;'t want to mess up my striker but want to maintain it correctly.
