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?
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 use blue juice on my piston horn. I rarely have to re-oil the valves...but when I do, I have to let the horn air out a little or the fumes will practically knock me out. But hey!......whatever works.
