## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is xlr8 safe for classical strings? i've heard that some string cleaners will dissolve the nylon.**
A: it is mineral oil with fragrance.  I am not sure if there is any solvent in it or not. I wouldn't use any oil on nylon.  it would at the very least soften them and keep them from being in tune.

**Q: Does this work for Bass strings?**
A: Yes. I’ve been using this for several years to clean my bass strings. Works well and extends the life of the strings.

**Q: Can i use to clean violin strings?**
A: Do not use this on violin strings.

**Q: while this product cleans and lubricate the strings as it will normally do, will it be good for the maple fretboard as well? thanks!**
A: Planet Waves XLR8 String Lubricant is very difficult to use in that it is hard to apply to all facets of the strings and it dries out too quickly. I would try something else.
