Re: [HG] Cleaning your wheel

[VonHorne]

In the interest of repairs to wheels in the field (per se) I had a grubby handed friend not only touch the wheel but rub his finger over it. Knowing I was doomed I cranked the wheel and it was not good. The solution I found at the time was to take an alcohol wipe from a emergency medical kit and clean the wheel then let it sit for an hour or so. It played great after a quick rosin. I was up and playing again in no time and it saved me much worry.      As for the proper way to clean the wheel I happily and heartily defer to Alden.       Scott
