without looking back, i remember someone asking about conditioning aluminum calls.. im very new to pot calls but i will give my experience!
i bought a HS strut black magic a few days ago. i cleaned it with alcohol and it was okay, but left some to be desired.
i then took a piece of green scotch brite and scuffed a patch of it. it was much better. it sounded a lot more realistic and wasnt as whiny for lack of a better word.
i then tried some 220 on a small place and scuffed over it with some scotch brite again and definitely like it. with a small section done in 220, then some with only the scotch, it has two very distinctive sounds. the place with 220 is higher pitched and more raspy, but the just scuffed section has a more throaty sound to it.
like i said, im very new so some of my wording may be off as to how to explain it, but i believe it will help a few of the newer guys!
