Review on ๐ŸŽธ Rock-Tips Liquid Callus Formula for Guitar, Bass, and Stringed Instruments - 4.0 mL by Ann Montana

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works but much cheaper to use Superglue

Summary: This product works well if you use it multiple times. However, you pay about 10x more if you just buy the main ingredient instead. # Is it safe? ) can affect my health. I've looked at the main ingredient and it's cyanoacrylate or what you usually know as super glue. I looked at a few studies and accidental inhalation is harmless (please don't fret). And if you eat leftovers while eating with superglue fingers, you're fine. No health problems unless you intentionally try to eat this stuff. # Is it just super glue? The Rock Tips website does not list their ingredients. Based on other reviews I suspect they may have another ingredient to make the film more abrasion resistant. However, you're probably better off just buying cyanoacrylate with an applicator. It's 10 times cheaper and you get more. I don't have to buy 4ml as often anymore # Does it work? You need 2-3 applications to get a good laying hen. The website claims the bottle comes with 150 uses, but that won't get you very far. but it works really well. I still feel pain working higher on the bar, but not nearly as badly, and my skin doesn't feel the superficial pain it would otherwise have. Sliding up and down the bar is a dream. I didn't see any tracks while playing, which is nice. # Tips for professionals! 1. Apply, wave your hands to dry, and then I would recommend gently running your fingertips over something dry. You don't want that shit on your strings! 2. I need at least 2 apps per finger3. Soap and water are recommended for removal. Nail polish remover provides a faster solution. Note that nail polish remover must contain acetone - in fact, anything that contains acetone will do (just make sure you use something hand-safe!) 4. Do not use on cut or sore fingers. If your fingertips are already worn out, just take a break. You can explore Wonderwall later. As for me, next time I'll just buy superglue. It's not that I don't mind paying $10 for this bottle, it's just that buying this bottle all the time is a hassle with how little they give you and the number of uses that are required for each finger. Have fun playing!
