I am allergic to most of the valve oils. I have been using Slide o Mix two in one for my rotary valves since it has been out on 8 valves in my flock.

Seems to stay clean. No stains on my shirt. Lasts longer. Smooth feel.

An FYI for others.

What have you tried? Any if the synthetics like hetman or ultra pure?

I tried some several years ago. Still bothered the asthma. This stuff make the valve move smooth like a nice slide. I think it is combo of the Teflon and silicone.

The other think I do is put a gob of vaseline on the metal sockets, then hit it with a lighter just enough to melt in the lube. My old Bach bass still has a quiet old style linkage.

Try this: I work's well and is a different formulation than conventional petroleum-based oils.

I, too, am bothered by asthma, but Ultra Pure and Hetman’s haven’t bothered me… yet…

I tried BERP bio-oil a few years ago. It did not work well on the Kanstul valves I had at the time, and I did not like the smell. It looks like they have changed their formula, so I might try it again.
