I live in ATL metro and have taken my slides to the slidedr. He's the man. This is a good video though for sure. The slidedr has shown me the same kinds of techniques.

doesn't the trombone dr. in atlanta do more than this guy claims, he knows what chemicals he's using, fixes dents, aligns the slides perfectly. I thought it was more than that

Just tried what he said about the slide. Made a major difference. I didn't warm up the slide like he did cause I have not made that doo-hickey he was using but the rest worked great. I used Yamaha slide cream, and used tap water instead of distilled water.
