Title: Fingerboard Cleaning
Post by: ziggytang on March 20, 2011, 12:27:39 pm

Hi,

Wasn't to sure where to post this.

I was just wondering what's the best way to clean a fingerboard? I've got a Metolius one, had it about 2 years and the holds/slopers are pretty minging now, and no matter how much I brush them there's pretty much zero friction. I'm blaming it on the liquid chalk  :no:

cheers.

dish washer or pressure washer should do the trick.

where abouts do you live?, maybe your local wall would dunk it in a bath of benky for you if you asked nicely.

Dishwasher...

I stuck 10 loads or so through ours on its coolest wash. The smell of resin was quite something.

I opted for blasting it with a pressure washer, worked a treat.
