Subj: [kl] Reed Rush

This may sound like a stupid question, since I've been playin
clarinet for about 20 years, but anyway, I wanted to know what the
purpose of reed rush is. I bought a box of reed rush about two years
ago and yet to realize the true purpose of it. I know some people
swear by it. If I need to adjust my reeds, I use a knife or sandpaper
on glass... but is there some specific reason I could use the rush??
I tried using it one time and it did no good. I looked in my
reference books and no one mentions reed rush. Any assistance or text
reference would be appreciated. Thanks.
