Hi all,
I'm currently using Hetman valve oil for light pistons.
Gunk quickly forms in the instrument and occasionally causes the valves to stick on the way up.
There is gunk hiding in the really hard to reach places (small tubing between 2nd and 3rd valve) and when I blow the gunk pops out and catches the piston. I found this out by taking the pistons out one at a time, blow through the tubing and looking down the empty valve casing.
I need to do a thorough clean once a fortnight (getting my fingers right into all the holes in the piston casings) and it's not time I can afford (I'd rather be practicing!)
I find most synthetic oil gunks up to a certain degree, but Hetman is the worst. I've heard that this doesn't happen to other people so I guess it must be something to do with my constitution.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a fast valve oil that doesn't gunk up? (Or gunks up less)
