A swarm of lovely SHURE 707's has recently landed in the MIC DUNGEON, all having one nasty symptom in common: Their blue (or older black) fabric grillcloths were all caked with -stuff. The owners all requested retaining these original components, so how to A) make them hygienic B) make them look GOOD!
With the grill removed from the mic, the cloth can be gently pushed through from the grill side and peeled beginning at one edge and working across. Set-up a jar of alcohol -even vodka will do- and soak the cloth while dipping the grill into a solvent (I like lacquer thinner) to remove the glue residue.
I'll be returning with a cool grillcloth 'renewal' trick in PART 2...
