Finger Ease Spray

[Spudmurphy]

Hi Crazyheart.
Welcome to the forum and for an interesting posting.

A friend of mine uses Johnsons baby oil on his 'boards. - but 3 in 1, wow that's a new one on me.

Nothing...but position changes arent as easy.

...Now would someone please resurrect a thread from '03 please.

I use Finger Ease a lot. It's addicting. Usually I spray it on the strings while putting a piece of paper behind them to cover the fretboard. But sometimes I use it without doing that... Absolutely no problems and I've done it for years on various guitars, EBMM and others.

Back when I used Finger Ease, someone hipped me to spraying it on my fingers instead of on the strings. No gunk on the fretboard and you use a lot less.

I use it for cooking, but also use it as cologne - the ladies really dig it.

Oh, and it's also a good replacement for MACE, but you need to use a lighter too.

I've been using Finger Ease for at least 10 years on every guitar I own, from my Custom Shop Les Paul, to my PRS Cust22, to my SUB1, and Silo. Not only do I like it on the strings, but I like to spray a little on the back of the neck, and rub it in with a polishing cloth... ie an old cotton T shirt. Regardless of where you spray it, you need to rub it in with a cloth to even it out.

SLICK! I've never encountered any buildup issues. It's great stuff!

 

[Slowlicks]

My 2 cents... Been using fast fret on my strings for a long time. no issue at all...
If you like the feel go for it! There, I just put some on my JPX... warm ice!

 

[Random Hero]

I used it until the can I owned ran out quite recently but only when the strings were a bit older or the humidity wasn't quite feeling right. You know, the times when your fingers just seem to stick a bit. It was cool but I wouldn't coat my fingerboard in it merely because it starts to feel actually wet when you do that, as opposed to just slick.

Your a ****ing idiot show some respect to your teacher who's been doing this obviously alot longer than you have bitch

 

[Mick]

Dear Mr Brittain, you must be really upset, and not the smartest guy.

Your first post, 7 year old thread and you´re insulting a forum member.

...or maybe you´re just his guitar teacher...then quit your job and clean toilets (where you can use spray stuff the whole day on things that are not yours)

@Mods: Can we just ban him, we need nice people over here.

James, welcome to the forum. On other forums that might be cool, but not here. If you can't manage respect, civility is the rule of the day. This is a very cool place, we love our Aussies, and if you stick around you'll enjoy it. (I'm an honorary Melbournian myself)

But please edit or delete your post ASAP.

Mick, I know you can do better than that too.

Folks, Beej is on vacation and has asked me to keep an eye on things. Bovinehost will look in on this and deal with it as necessary. In the mean time you all have better things to post about. Leave this one alone, OK?

Thanks!

 

[straycat113]

Nicely handled Kev.

 

[bovinehost]

Thanks for the heads-up, sir. The toilet has been flushed.

 

[alf cockle]

I just spray a rag lightly and rub it on the strings..simple ,efficient,and no overspray to clean up.

Silicone is terrible for wood! I avoid that stuff like the plague. Roche Thomas fingerboard oil is the way to go.

Since when ? their are lots of furniture polishes on the market that come in aerosol form that have been used for over 50 years and they are still on the market, wood is not as brital as people make out as most trees are treated with chemicals when growing to speed the process up, some of the french polish in a tin has way more harmful stuff in than finger ease and the reason it is used on a wide scale is cause it is easy to apply, if u want to apply proper french polish u need a good french polisher to do it, finger easy is good for any guitar and I have used it on my les paul, strats, and music man with brirds eye maple board, and i am going to carry on using it as it is way better than not having it on.

What I do sometimes do is put a cloth under the strings and then spray it on, but that's not to protect the fret board persa, but more to get a good coat on the strings without making the fret board ott

 

[TSHOW]

Don't be alarmed.....I have been using it for years on my PRS...and now on my EBMM.......mostly when I gig outdoors....It reduces the friction....my necks still look great!!!! Wow....what a scare!!!

And we're still quoting posts from 2004 .... ?

Time to let this one die me thinks.
