Before this gets kinky let me explain that I have a couple of lower slides that have a tendency to move when I shift the top slides on my C tuba (no vented valves...).
What do you chaps use on slides you need to move only to clean the horn or dump water; not adjust with one finger on the fly?
The thickest slide lube I have is the pink Selmer stuff but I've heard folk (Wade maybe?) saying that stuff is is Royal PITA *when* it ends up in your valveset.
I have Hetman #5 Slide Oil which is great on my top slides that I move to tune. Slick.
Is Hetman 7 thicker than the pink Selmer goo?
Thanks,
