Topic: Box call stopped working?  (Read 4211 times)

My relatively new box call stopped getting friction, and no thing how much I chalk it, I cannot get it to run...  It is a Primos Heartbreaker with Primos chalk...  Not a fancy phone call, only I have enjoyed information technology this flavor.

I was practicing in the garage and it was working fine...  Chalked it up (with the same chalk I have been using all season), and at present it does non run...  If I press difficult, I can go a few high pitched squeaks that audio nothing like a turkey...

Wiped all the chalk off with a paper towel, re-chalked (with new call chalk), and information technology sounds ameliorate, simply still not the call that it was an hour ago???

I am thinking emery cloth?

Any communication is appreciated.

Did I do that?

Scotch brite and clean information technology good. Then chalk the hat. Cheque your rails and make sure there isn't any oil or h2o on them. Wipe them off with a paper towel and meet how information technology works later on that.

Weird. I would have said you put chalkboard chalk on it, but you said it was call chalk. Endeavor the scotch brite to clean rails and lid. Rechalk lid to run across if it helps.

Is the screw holding the lid loose? Try lightly sanding the edges of the box and the paddle. Start with the paddle.........Also wait for a fine fissure somewhere in the box sides. Almost all boxes require a light sanding after heavy employ. Some more than others. Proficient Luck.


A good box call doesnt demand a ton of chalk to work. Information technology is only apply to get a trivial friction. A niggling goes a long mode.

I am thinking that with the hot weather and oily/sweaty hands, I might take created an issue...  Screws are down, and I removed all the chalk I could with a dry paper towel...  Without chalk, information technology does not fifty-fifty make a squeak.

What grain sand paper?  I was thinking of trying some emery cloth...

Did I do that?

Apply a fine grade sandpaper. Employ it lightly as you lot are only trying to scuff it up and take whatever slick spots off. Go with the grain and then chalk information technology.. some calls have more chalk than others. Kickoff light.
I usually practise this a couple times a year depending on the weather(moisture/dry out).


220 grit or finer, ad go lightly.  You do not want to alter the radius of the lid or runway.  Yous may want to outset with green scotchbrite beginning, and again, go lite to get the quondam chalk off.

A box will take changes over time equally it dries, and of form more acutely will change when exposed to h2o, humidity and oil from handling or touching the friction surfaces.  If I had to guess, bet one time yous become the friction surfaces back to wood, then as suggested above brainstorm applying a quality chalk lightly as you test and tune, your box should come back.

Thank you guys...

Scotchbrite certainly helped...

Sounds a lot better at present, merely non back to where information technology was earlier...  Previously, information technology was an extremely easy call to purr on, and it sounded good...  Much more than difficult to purr on my favorite side now, and it does non sound all that slap-up...  Yelps and cuts notwithstanding audio good, and information technology even so holds that "throaty" yelp that I like about the telephone call, but it does not seem equally loud at present either.

I accept a feeling after reading Paboxcall's post, that oils from my own easily and handling the call with sweaty hands is probably a culprit.

I take it yous guys leave your box calls home when it rains?

Did I practise that?

Sounds a lot ameliorate now, but not back to where information technology was before...  Previously, it was an extremely piece of cake call to purr on, and it sounded skillful...  Much more hard to purr on my favorite side now, and it does not audio all that great...  Yelps and cuts still sound good, and it still holds that "throaty" yelp that I similar about the telephone call, but it does non seem every bit loud now either.

I have a feeling after reading Paboxcall's postal service, that oils from my ain hands and handling the call with sweaty hands is probably a culprit.

I take it y'all guys leave your box calls home when information technology rains?

I conduct an old bread bag or gallon zip lock to put the telephone call in when it rains. Y'all can play the call while in the bag.


I have calls simply for those rainy days. My prized calls don't go out the business firm if at that place's a chance of pelting.
