Dunlop 65 string cleaner

[lunarsoul]

How do i apply this onto the strings? The liquid doesn't seem to flow out through the applicator tip.

 

[daryl]

it does. shake and squeeze

 

[lunarsoul]

Thanks for the tip. The squeezing did help, in another way though. Nearly pop the top off. Decided to remove to top to see how it works.

Found out that the trick is in the centre of the applicator tip :roll: . The centre needs to be depressed before any fluid can flow out (now I understand why the instruction said to apply when strings are at tension).

Strings felt nice after application. Let's hope they'll not tarnish so quickly.

it doesnt really prevent tarnishing from what i know but it sure makes the strings more playable/smooth i actually left mine lying around for a year before using it and i can feel the difference

fungi. gotta use it regularly...

Hmmm, looks like the string cleaner MIGHT be a rich in nutrients for fungi to grow....

Well, i would strongly recommend GHS fast frets. They much better than the dunlops in my opinion

 

[Zarin]

yea i agree that the GHS fast frets are much better..the dunlop's after awhile, the fibre thingy will wear off and it will suck after there's no fibre...lol..its all in the preference

tissue paper?

i use mine after playing to clean the strings to prevent rusting. dabbing on some cotton and running through the strings.

fast fret is a big no.. too oily.

 

[Slimo]

where can i get dis?

 

[ShredCow]

Don't bother with both fast fret and dunlop. Just messes things up.

There's DR StringLife, available from many shops - Davis is one of them. Non-oily and maintains string life like it is advertised.

FastFret too oily? when i apply on it, i always wipe it then play , not really oily, unless u didn't use the cloth to wipe it away. But i still find that my string still rust on some sides..even now my bridge is rusting.. wth!

 

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

i tend to apply the 65 onto a cloth before I wipe the strings down... not too oily, not too dry

hey guys, may i know the price of DR StringLife?
