that keeps your horn so clean in the inside? I love this oil because of this and I wanted to know what they use.

Whatever is in it stinks, and I've never been able to stand it long enough to get any benefits from it.

I have noticed the weird yellowy stuff come out of the spit valve also when I use Hetman's. (I transferred some Hetman's out of the PITA dropper bottle to a more user-friendly bottle and noticed this oil is pretty yellow to start with) Other than looking like stomach bile, it does not appear to be hurting anything.

This is the only down side, other than price and local availability, that I have noticed with Hetman's. I still use Blue Juice for my piston horns with decent valve compression.

Blue Juice is obviously made of Cookie Monster blood.

Odorless Mineral Spirits. (definitely not limited to blue juice)

Mineral spirits is not a suitable replacement, if that is what you are looking for, as it has a much higher inhalation exposure poisoning risk. Odorless (while not exactly harm-free) has had most of the aromatic compounds removed.

Dude, TubeNet is great! I was wondering what the yellow liquid was on my horns. So I thought, I'll check TubeNet! Low and behold...it must be from the hetmans valve oil.

I guess I'll go back to Blue Juice?

You prefer blue liquid to yellow liquid?

I choose to have the best of both worlds and make green liquid.

What did you put in the search engine? Yellow liquid?

Sounds dangerous...

HAHA!

Come to think of it, that is a little sketchy... Yeah, I searched yellow, and just read through a few. This Blue Juice forum ended up being on the second page I think.

When I was using Hetmans #1 I used to get a yellow/green pastey crap collecting around valve ports. I now use Blue Juice on my piston horns and they stay clean.
I use Superslick rotary oil on my rotors 'cause I like the needle applicator.

Wonder if there's any connection between the yellow/blue gunk related to the different oils and saliva ph.

I used blue juice for awhile on my 2000. BTW I oil my horns EVERY day... sometimes more than once depending on how much I'm doing. I did find I got the blue/green gunk all over my valves if I didn't play the horn for a few days.

I switched to homebrew then to hetmans after the green incident because I decided it couldn't be good to have that buildup on the valves. I have yet to experience the yellow phenomena, although, I usually have some yellow/brownish/greenish stuff coming out of the leadpipe when I use the snake no matter what valve oil I've been using.

so... my ph = blue stuff but not yellow... anyone else with this experience?

I always figured it was kerosene with blue dye in it. Smells like kerosene, looks blue. Simple.
