Strad O Various Jr. Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Rehairing a bow just because the hair got a bit dirty seems a bit stupid, but I can see why a bow rehairing outfit might tell you that, doesn't make it true, though.

Jerry has mentioned other reasons in addition to accumulation of contaminants, and I agree with him. And I don't do bow rehairs. However, I must admit that I have never actually tried using toilet bowl cleaner; nor sandblasting the hair clean; nor taping the bow to the top of the car and driving through the car wash; nor putting the bow through the dishwasher. I'm just closed-minded, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not understanding concepts do not make them stupid. But of course you being anonymous betrays your intentions.... 27 minutes ago, jacobsaunders said: Not if you have a mail order re-hairing kiosk, and your tongue is hanging out waiting for someone to give you $75 Jacob, it is okay to just not understand a concept. Blaming others for your lack of knowledge about a subject, and criticizing people that have the wherewithal to support themselves seems pretty small...

These things are not new or different. Spend more time learning, and less time trying to defend not learning, and you will be much better off..... Toilet cleaner man...you are defending using toilet cleaner on bow hair rather than rehairing....you are supposed to be a professional! Have a little self respect.

David Burgess Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Apparently, "toilet fetishes" are a real thing. I'm still not completely understanding how to use toilet cleaner for renewing bow hair. Does one put the toilet cleaner in the toilet, insert the bow hair, and and then flush to "give it a swirly"?

It's an emulsion (the tip-off is the word "cream"), and it contains a particulate (calcium carbonate) abrasive. It's going to leave solid and organic (oily?) residues. It's also perfumed.

It can cause deformation of tips causing them to pop off or leaving them permanently deformed, and it can cause cheek cracks as blocks expand... Alcohol can can cause problems as well with finishes and coating the hair with liquid rosin. The real issue here, is bows need to be rehaired for more reasons than the hair being dirty; in fact it is incredibly rare for that to be the primary reason. As the hair stretches with use, it stretches unevenly which can cause dramatic decreases in performance and even long term damage to sticks that are warped as a result. Spend the money to have a rehair rather than risk long term damage with alcohol, or TOILET BOWL CLEANER......(seriously, a professional telling people to clean bow hair with toilet bowl cleaner? What are you thinking?) you will be much better off, and you bow and your playing will benefit. So don't get the stick or frog wet, and don't get alcohol on it. Cleaning the hair is not difficult, and ordinary care suffices. I've never had bowhair stretch on one side and warp the bow, but if I did, I would have it rehaired. I have had it get dirty, and for that the remedy is cleaning. Jacob Saunders suggests an aqueous cleaner, but I suggest alcohol. It dries faster. For what it's worth, I don't see a significant tendency to wick into unwanted places. It just works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
