Lets not turn this into a big debate about the type of rice you should use to clean the box. Those threads are always contentious. Usually worse than the "HHG vs Titebond" threads.


Well, I was going to suggest first coating the rice with Titebond, but I don't want to stir the pot.

But it does make me wonder - does anyone ever put rice in their dry HHG flakes to keep the moisture content down, like they do with salt shakers in the local BBQ place?

I'd be worried about the fine powder that accumulates in the bottom of the rice bags contaminating the shellac.

I don't the rice trick is necessary on a new guitar, though it works pretty well on old beaters full of cobwebs etc.

Rice has a tendency to get stuck in the kerfs.

I always wondered how to make "kerfed rice."
