Finding your new pBone a little bit slow and sluggish? Don't worry - we can sort it!
When new, the pBone slide may feel slow and scratchy. The slide will “run in” with use as the brass stockings polish themselves, and at the same time, smooth down the interior of the outer slides.
During this “running-in period” you will need to clean the inner slides frequently with a lint-free cloth or baby-wipe. You should expect to find a dark deposit both on your cloth and in the condensation coming from the water key, this is normal and shows that the stockings are doing their job smoothing down the interior of the outer slide tubes.

With use and over time, this process will diminish and disappear as the slide becomes quicker, quieter and smoother to run. You may find that the slide needs less lube during the “running in” period. If during this period, the slide slows it will almost certainly be a build-up of the dark deposit so always give the slide a good clean should it slow down.
