>> Here's the deal. If you have a swimming pool, save one of the small plastic test kit bottles and wash it out, fill it with water. I use 3 bottles that once held the wife's eyedrops. One has a yellow top. It holds water. (for the harps) One has an orange top (more dangerous). It holds whale oil. (for the trumpet). The third has a red top (volatile). It holds 91% alcohol. (helps free stuck slides)...followed by water.

Some people have used... and I've even seen it sold like this... lovemaking lubricants, such as astroglide, for slides. Now that's just sick and how ya gonna explain that if your wife sees the inside of your gig bag. I like to flatten slides- take out the high spots and keep them clean. If your slide is clean it needs no oil. If you use oil, your slide will get dirty. It is  a spiral of grossness.
