Anyone ever use this on their slide? Opinions?

Thanks,
Robert

I use it on my Butler C12 bass trombone slide [carbon fiber] and it is a real boon to a slide that requires NO moisture to operate at its best because it seems to keep water from accumulating on your slide ---- just the opposite of what I've done for all of my trombone playing life. I have no experience of using it on regular brass trombone slides. Let us know how it works out for you ------ !

I know nothing about this stuff, but I immensely enjoyed seeing my old friend, mentor, and trombone idol Miles Anderson endorsing this product. If Miles likes it you know it is good, if he didn't like it those who know (the very eloquent Miles) know he would use the most profane words in the American language to say so: "Don't use this ******* ****, it is absolute ******* **** and will totally **** up your horn. This ****** **** should be ******** ***** *** **** be ****** *****, and those ************ should be ***** ******** ******* ***** and ****. Have a nice day, HAHAHAHA!"

If it works, go for it! This looks to be a more "solid" type of almost "wax" to put on the slide. Interesting concept. Most of the "classic" creams are just recreations of Pond's cold cream. Then there are those that are like Slid-O-Mix, which seams to be some type of surfactant/detergent and very thin silicone.

The name is enough to keep me from trying it.

Great to see (and hear) Miles. I've been wondering how he is and what he's doing these days.

Yeah... Not sure how I feel about wax on my slide. I feel like it would be a pain to clean out properly.

I would like to try... I just doubt I'll like it more than trombotine.

I'm intrigued. I'm going to buy some. Looking forward to seeing how wax is on the slide. I might use it on a horn I don't care about first

It works great for me. A very small amount on the stockings spread thin. Then a small drop of Yamasnot also on each stocking.

Best slide action I've experienced, and it will last for days. I've tried them all over the years, this is really good stuff.

I ordered mine late Thursday night and I believe it was delivered to me on Saturday, back in May. Very quick turnaround.

I've only used it once, but I really like it. I don't think it's going to replace my Yamaha slide oil, but it's definitely my 2nd favorite slide lube I've tried. I would take this over Trombone, Slide-o-mix, and Ultra Pure.

It kind of threw me for a loop with how little of an amount you need to use.

No go on my Edwards slide. No matter the amount, it just didn't work as well as Yamaha Slide Lubricant.

Just tried it. Definitely needs water on a brass slide. Seems fine, but Yamaha lube still works better and doesn't need water.
