Also the dust is high in aluminum oxide (Corundum)... which is the stuff they make knife sharpening stones with... I believe it's rated at about 9 on Moh's scale of hardness... a very fine dust that finds it's way into and makes hash out of slide faders in short order. I'm thinking rotary pot EQ's?
