Matches are wax-soaked wood, so that doesn?t seem like an ideal choice. Tongue depressors
might be better. Or you could go to a tool supply company and find orange wood sticks,
those seem to be intended for this sort of job.
Windex works very well for taking off tobacco smoke residue. And I like laquer thinner as
a universal solvent for tough jobs. For any cleaner, especially potent ones like laquer
thinner, you?d want to check first that it doesn?t attack the surface in question.

How did you clean the head? Usually, with enough
patience (can be half
an hour or more), you'll get them clean anyway.
I use a match (the *wooden*
side!!!) or similar in conjunction with ipa to get the crusts off. In the end I use some
tissue with IPA to clean the heads.
