The more I look at these pictures the more I miss it. Sorry for the dirtyness, that was the best I could do with hot water and a few q-tips! I left my glass cleaner at home and I haven't been able to get some new stuff. A local headshop carries 420 Formula, any comments on its effectiveness? I've used Grunge Off in the past and was planning on picking up some Simple Green. My favorite part was the huge horn/handle. I love the little air bubbles at the tip of it! Fortunately the slide is still semi-functional, have to pinch the broken sides with my finger and it stops most of the air leakage. Waiting for ALT to confirm my order for a new one. Have a good weekend blades, I know I will!
It's a shame that this got broken, but it could've been sooooo much worse. Either way, sorry for your loss, bud!
That sucks man. The good news is that ALT is super quick, so you'll be rocking the new one in just a few days.
haha hey keep it for memories (but dont cry too much because i know i would). but on the upside your getting a new one.
dont by 420 formula, it works but its a rip off, you can smell the iso alchohol in it, better just buying salt and iso for half the price. shitty breakage man
Damn. Sorry for your loss. I dropped one of mine from about 5ft onto a ft. thick concrete slab and only the tip of the horn came off.
wow, how do you keep yours so clean? i use rubbing alcohol and salt and it gets everything but the little slits themselves. i've also been surprised how easy the 10 arm downstem is to clean
Yeah, that's fucking crazy because I've spent time with needles before trying to clean those slits. I totally agree, my 5 arm downstem cleans in seconds.
i clean my dd with rubbing alcohol and salt. ive only had it for a few days but after cleaning it everytime i havent had a problem
I've used Grunge off and Formula 420 (Will be either trying Simple Green or just buying alcohol+salt next). Soaking in Grunge off cleans the slides except for the slits, I cleaned my slide from it's pictured state last night with Formula 420 and it slightly worked better than soaking in Grunge off, but it didn't clean the slits. I wouldn't be surprised if the guy who was able to clean his perfectly has kept his clean since day 1. Mine has gone through periods where it got way dirtier than normal and resin built up.
I cant believe someone already swooped up that $200 LW disc worked slide on alt already. that guy can charge whatever he wants lol.
Mine has been to the point that resin caked on the disc would burn. Simple Green just works that well and quite quickly.
Damn, definitely picking that up next for sure then. Hopefully it'll get rid of my slight perc-stains as well.
Yeah.. but thats a Lw/dosher collab, thats a super heady slide.. $200 is what slides like those typically go for, especially when two really crazy artists do a collab. That too a disc slide. I think LW has some of the most decent priced stuff considering the quality/functionality.
