Reed Adjustment

Author: BGBG

I had 2 reeds that had chips on end and didnt play well. Instead of discarding I decided to try clipping & sanding. First try at this. Read when sanding to wet reed and wet sandpaper. But if I wet, then fingers do not move reed, which sticks to paper since both are wet. Could it be that you sand dry and paper even though it said wet? Seems dry would work better.
Have only read a few instructional pages.
Also, is caliper used to measure thickness of blade end or simply put it on mouthpiece & try it? Any recommended websites for directions?
