[Trombone-l] Wow! (Hydro-Slide)

[Steve]

Well, I'd like to give the opposing view.  I have had great luck with
Slide-o-Mix but I happened to be at the music store last week and on a whim
I bought some Hetman Hydro-Slide.  I have tried it for a week now on a great
slide with Slide-o-mix (I don't know why) and with Superslick.  I varied the
concentration on the Hetman and I had extremely poor results.  It just
washed away whatever I had on my slide, leaving the slide high and dry.  (It
did not gum up the Slide-o-mix at least.)  I did not try it with an oil and
wish I had read Price's e-mail before I cleaned my slide off as I do not
intend on using it any more.

So it works with the 'soap' based lubes (ie. yammy slide oil or 
slide-o-mix)? I've been pondering giving it a shot, but I usually hear 
about it with reference to trombotine or the other cream-lubes.

Good to know- I'll have to give it a shot some time. Does it take the 
place of the small bottle (silicone) for the slide-o-mix 2bottle set, or 
do you lube the slide like normal and just use it in place of flat water?
