New Wrap

Posts: 20 Threads: 9

I just stripped the old wrap from my '66 Slingerlands. They came off very easy. The shells are really clean, should I sand them down before I apply the new wraps or leave them slightly rough due to the old glue?

Thanks,

Dave

get the glue off so there is a even glue down so all wrap is one with the drum ,,

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Yep, you have to remove the old glue. Don't sand it, use an adhesive remover. It's a little messy but it's a lot faster than trying to sand it off and it does a better job.

If you don't get it off, it will show in the finish like a really bad countertop.
