And.... if you drink valve oil while playing, you'll never have to oil your valves or grease slides again.

Some say Lawrence Welk was pretty square.

Not bubble soap, but I used another kind of liquid soap as a piston lubricant for a while, but I found that it left a residue that built up over time. Pure glycerine did the same.
Valve oil also creates a sludge, but not as much. Someone here suggested that it is an emulsion of oil and water.

Do you recommend putting the bubble soap down the lead pipe or the tuning slides??
