Hetman Slide Gel #7 (A7237)
The Hetman Slide Gel #7 (A7237) is a product designed to provide lubrication and smoothness to the slides of brass instruments, particularly trombones. It is formulated to reduce friction between the inner and outer slide tubes, allowing for easier and more responsive slide movement.
Hetman Slide Gel #7 is typically applied to the inner slide tubes of a trombone. It helps create a thin, protective film that enhances the seal between the slides, reducing air leakage and improving the overall playability of the instrument.
To use Hetman Slide Gel #7, you would typically apply a small amount of the gel to the inner slide tubes. It is important to use the gel sparingly, as a little goes a long way. Spread it evenly along the tubes, and then work the slide back and forth to distribute the gel.
The Slide Gel is especially useful in situations where traditional slide creams or oils may be too thin or prone to dripping. It offers a thicker consistency, providing long-lasting lubrication for extended playing sessions without requiring frequent reapplication.
As always, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer's instructions or seek guidance from a qualified instrument technician to ensure proper usage and maintenance techniques specific to your instrument.
