Re: [Shaku] The Power of Urushi

Hi Bruce, The label on the CORTAID box states: Removes urushiol. Binds the toxins and allows them to be washed off.

Again, I really don't know if it works since I don't get the rash after the urushi polymerizes.

If any rash prone players out there tries it, please let me know if it works.
 Thanks, Perry

Cortaid is a cortisone-based product, good for healing the rash (or
possible as a prophylactic measure). I don't know how good it would
be at disolving urusiol from the surface of a flute.

My last container of soap was REI brans, but see that they don't
sell it any more. A similar product, Buji Wash, is available at

    http://www.bujiproducts.com/products.html

I wash the entire inside and outside of flutes before venturing
forth.
