Gobblerstopper on here is a supreme turkey hunter and turkey call maker gave me a tip last eyar that works well.
Carry a butane cigarette lighter and use it to dry the slate call with. You don't have to put the flame right on the slate just hold it close.
I like slate calls best of all.

Knight & Hale makes a aluminum call I believe is called the Silver Queen. It sounds really good and also works wet.

The only box call i own is the Wet Box by Primos. Works just as well soaking wet as it does dry. I've called and killed Turkey with it.

Woody is right, the lighter on the slate trick will work. It is really good on those humid mornings or just about anytime you are hunting in the south. If it gets wet while hunting, you can quickly dry it out with the lighter also.
Another trick that works on glass calls with a wood striker is to put a dab of super glue on the end of the tip. I'd practice on one that was not my favorite first though to check it out on the call.
Aluminum, glass and copper will all work when we with the right striker. Laminated strikers will work a little longer after getting wet than wood strikers because of their acrylic content. Other strikers that will work are straight acrylic, plexiglass, carbon or aluminum. None of them, in my opinion, have as good of a sound as a wood striker, but they will get the job done during the worst conditions.

Cane Creek makes a striker that works well on a wet glass call. I like to carry a push/pull box in a zip lock bag when it's raining. Works for me.

I carry baking soda in a small ziplock in my vest, a little on the slate will make it run like its perfectly dry.

Gobblerstopper, I've seen that box before. Neat craftsmanship but, like you said, a high dollar item. I would have to see and hear one in person before I bought it.
