Ok I had a couple of questions. Does anyone have a extra bottle Glyde Coat? If not what do you clean your neck and resonator with. My neck is sticky!!!

Greatly appreciated

	Geoff Stelling says: 8/27/2018 1:54:14 PM For anyone with a sticky finish, get some naptha from a local hardware store, saturate a cloth or paper towels with it and scrub all the finished surfaces that are sticky till the sticky film disappears. Changing the paper towels again and again will help as they remove the sticky film. Leave the banjo out of the case and let the finish dry out and repeat as necessary till all film is gone. Once the film has been removed and does not reappear after a day or so, polish the finished areas with Glyde-Cote if you have any, or use McGuires cleaner wax polish. Leave the banjo outside of the case and leave the case open for as long as possible to get rid of any fumes that may have accumulated in it. This procedure has worked for me many times and may need repeating more than once. Best of luck.
