Re: Valve Oil Recommendations?
Like Blue Juice, but it stinks -- too much hydrocarbon smell.
Hetmans does indeed gunk up horns.
Al Cass is good, but too thin and needs to be reapplied too often, often during a gig.
Yamaha synthetic is good; does get gunky, but at about 1/2 the speed of Hetmans. Very good finger feel to the piston travel.
Yamaha non-synthetic is slightly too thick.
So I use Yamaha synthetic.
Where are all the lamp oil, motor oil users?
