Subject: Re: LUBRICANTS (was Alan's post)

Hi Alan,

you recommended simple H2O to bring a sticking slide back to life. Did I
talked about anything else in my post of 10. Feb. to Steve Levine?

OK, nobody can read every word. Then you mentioned that you have:

>... experimented with just about every lubricant I ever heard
> of, or read about. <

Also with trombone oil? If not, forget it, it's just another, though fine
lubricant.

Obviously, there's no drug against this rebbelious sticker which sticks when
it becomes sticky (must have heard this...., yes, Pat said that).

There was a post of Bobbie with a tiny, tiny sentence, where Siegfried might
allegedly has something against this dam thing. She mentioned my teflon
coating and feared that this could wear if the slide is coated with that
stuff.

This made me think of an adventurous idea. Why coating? No, the complete thing
should consist of a special, very hard and steady plastic. At my customized CX
12s, the slide (Doug calls it briefly slider) is the only metal thing, running
there and back between plastic layers.

Why not make the slide too of plastic as Cham Ber Huang has already done at
his CBH? The slide has nothing to fear at his marathon. Against too hard
pushing, the knob end, not in contact with the race track, could still be made
of metal.

Ah, I forgot Alan that you are an unswerving lover of the 270. OK, then order
the whole mouthpiece section to be made of plastic. Better would be you do it
yourself and best, you buy a CX 12 before they are all discontinued.

What do you think?

Siegfried
