Yeah, that’s considered thin lube. At least if it’s that holton valve oil stuff in the round bottles it is. ---

It’s kind of risky. I wouldn’t do it ;). When I clean my bearings I never lube it after and it’s perfectly fine. ---

Yea, I use trumpet valve oil, I bet they are the same thing, and I prefer it over yyj thin lube. And it is cheaper and comes in larger amounts. ---

I have valve oil but it is not liquid, it is like lip balm. Will it work the same as trombone valve oil? 🙂 ---
