Everything You Need to Lubricate Your Slide
Superslick knows that caring for a trombone’s main slide is a deeply personal process. Every player develops their own preference and method to achieve the desired result. Instead of trying to mix up the perfect chemical cocktail for every slide, they created the SS4240 Slick-it Trombone Lubrication Kit. It contains the tools you need to keep your slide performing at its best. You’ll get a container of SC1 trombone slide cream, a bottle of Professional Plus slide treatment, and an SB1 pocket-sized slide sprayer. Take it from users here at Sweetwater: once you find a ratio you like, you won't want to go back to your old slide oil.
SC1 slide cream
Experience your trombone at its best with Superslick SC1 Trombone Slide Cream. Users around Sweetwater have tips for how to use it. First, clean your inner slide and remove any old oil. Next, add a small measure of slide cream (about the size of a popcorn kernel) to the stocking of each slide and evenly distribute it on the bottom half of the slide. When you’re done, grab your water bottle and spray the tubes. Then, reassemble your slides and work the cream the rest of the way up the slide. Regularly apply water whenever your slide starts to stick, and you’re ready to go!
Professional Plus slide treatment
While Sweetwater thinks that SC1 slide cream is fantastic on its own, Superslick’s Professional Plus slide treatment takes it to the next level. Once you apply your SC1 slide cream, add a single drop of Professional Plus slide treatment to each slide stocking and work it in. It will activate the cream, providing additional lubrication. Your slide will feel faster than ever before.
SB1 slide sprayer
No trombone slide is immune to occasional sticking, but you can combat this issue head-on because the SS4240 Slick-it kit comes with an SB1 spray bottle. Just fill it up with water (Sweetwater recommends distilled) and set it on your music stand. Any time the slide stops moving as freely as you’d like, take your bottle and apply a fine mist to both slides. You’ll notice the difference immediately! With the included slide sprayer, you’ll extend the life of your slide cream.
