[Harp-L] : Grip covers

[Vern]

You don’t bake the whole thing, just the disassembled metal parts.  In the case of the harmonica, that would be just the covers.  You would not coat the part that goes in your mouth.

Perhaps some surfboard wax on part of the covers suffused with ground walnut shells (from the marine hardware store) instead of sand would improve friction and reject saliva. It keeps bare feet from slipping off of wet surfboards.
