[Trombone-l] Slide-O-Mix On An F Rotor

[Emil Orth]

Jim, I can't think of a worse horror story than after several SOM valve 
treatments.  I'm certain the silicone content in the small bottle would 
begin to build and become scratchy....just like on a slide.  Then begins the 
cleaning every week or so.  No Thanx, I used the stuff on my tenor slides 
for about a year with the constant hassel of cleanup.  I have switched to 
REKA super slide back in Jan of '03 and its just wonderful...no water mist 
or anything else.  Just slick!!!  No buildup around the stockings either. 
Good Stuff.  I would reccomend Binak 495 or its lighter version for use on 
your valve.  There, thats my .02 cts.!!!  (I now admit, I don't even own a 
horn with a valve section but I''ve read enough posts on the list to 
understand how tickey they are about lube!!!)
                                                                Hope to have 
helped...Emil
