CAJUN ACCORDION DISCUSSION GROUP
Just discovered that Acetone and a Q-tip works far better than rubbing alcohol, which I was using. Everything from reed wax, dirt to leather-glue comes off with a few swipes (depending on the glue used)
Be careful of finishes with acetone - probably not much of a problem - and any plastic parts. Oh, and you might lose some of your pretty nail polish!
I hear you brother, but I'm talking about reeds, removed for servicing
