[Hornlist] RE: Blue Juice
Need to weigh in re: Blue Juice. Have been using it for a year. I began using it when my valves began being sluggish and a trumpet friend said give it a go. Has worked extremely well. No gumming of my valves. In fact, the repair person who cleans my horn complimented me on the cleanliness of my valves and the only change was the Blue Juice. BTW, it is a petroleum product... --Leslie Mantrone ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] Re: Blue Juice for Valves?
Having attended High School, I feel qualified to answer Steve's question. You can use Blue juice on your horn, but don't mix it with any other oils. It reacts badly with petrolium based oils and it will gum up. - Steve Mumford ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

I only have it around because I never use it. I used a little, then stopped. Why? Well it just gums everything up and dries out too fast. I think they're fine for piston valves, but rotary valves are a different story. If you have to use it for an emergency you have to clean the whole horn free of it afterwards in my opinion. Dear William and List: I have used Blue Juice on my Lawson horns for nearly six years now and have never had a problem with it. I find that it works better than Al Cass, for the two Fourier models that I've owned at least. Just adding my $.02..
