Are There Any Risk to Your Stylus From Using Magic Reaser
Peter Ledermann recommends using Blue Tac after each play, in the manner Tom describes. If Peter recommends it, you can bet it’s safe. I would assume the magic eraser works the same. I’ve also heard people swear by damping gel pads used by drummer...
