    Easy to Make Pot Cleaning Cap

    Posted by Elaine S Hartstein Hartstein Guitars on April 6, 2025 at 7:51 pm

    I was going to buy a pot cleaning cap from StewMac, but never got around to it. Well, today I needed to clean a bunch of scratchy old pots, so I made one from a piece of surgical tubing and a zip tie. I punched a hole with an awl for the straw nozzle, and held the rubber tubing tight to the bottom of the pot shaft. Almost no mess, and the pots aren’t scratchy anymore.

    We use surgical tubing at our shop too. Often just slide the right size over, spray it in, and let gravity work for a few.
