    So I have a Primos crystal and i'm having a problem conditioning it. I conditioned at the end of last spring but when I pulled it out yesterday to check if it was ok and it wouldn't make a peep. Ill admit that i forgot exactly how to sand it and I ended up sanding it in circles instead of back and forth. I used 80 grit paper and roughed it up a bunch but now when I use the call, it makes some type of squeaking sound as well as a really raspy yelp. Is the call done for or can I save it?

    I don't have the exact call that you have but if you put some rough grit sand paper to it across the call it should be OK

    Don't forget to sand/condition your peg as well.
