AM Foreman ????

[oneguy]

got an AM Foreman coming tomorrow and plan on trying her out Wed. I'd read where a few folks have said it's a good idea to ruff it up some with some fine sandpaper because it's a little slippery when new out-of-box and may lose some small stuff? Any opinions or just let it go and wear it in naturally?

Thanks guys............

you can give it a wash with Dawn.

Plastic gold pans and sluices can ship with a releasing agent.

I love my AM Foreman and Grubstake! Didn't use anything on either. Mother Nature took care of it. Good luck with yours!

yesserrie.....!!!!!! lovin mine also and parked the Hungarian riffle sluice.............. The thing seems to do really good on the small stuff (and that's what this rookie gets, filling the vile one spec at a time!!!!).

Yep great sluice and one of the easiest to setup for beginners, oil is used to make plastic so it would be good to use some dawn to wash it out before using but no need to rough it up any. Just let it wear in as you us it and it catches fines so small you need a magnifier to identify it, the newer ones have the advanced riffles and mine is the older type but still works perfect.
