benos Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 I posted this in the Open Gun forum, but thought it might get more action here - What should the name be for the new juice? Open-Glide, Slide-Glide Light, or ??? I feel like the phrase "Slide-Glide" should remain intact, otherwise I forsee lots of (unnecessary) "splainin" on the phone down the road. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 I like SG-Lite, though Slide-Glide Number Zero has an interesting Zen-like ring to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Merricks Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Slide Glide Light sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Hmmmm....Astro-Glide is already taken... Slide-Glide Race Formula? Slide Glide Open Quick Slide-Glide Slide-Glide Speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Slide Glide K-Y? Which reminds me... I have to start putting a bottle of Astro Glide in the range bag and use it to lube up the blaster between stages. That'll tweak some people out.

Flexmoney Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 I like the Slide Glide Lite. It easily identifies and sets the product apart. I know exactly what it is from the name. And, the name has recognition and memory value...and it bulids on the main brand name (Slide Glide). - I still don't know the difference between SG #1 and SG #3...without having to look it up. (I don't know the Cooper conditions off the top of my head either. ;( ) - Bud. Bud Light. (I wonder if they spent a lot of money researching that name?)

kimel Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Well, everyone in the Open forum was calling it "Slide Glide Lite" so I think that it has been branded already. "Open" has this "open guns only" ring to it which is rather misleading since those of us in cold country are looking forward to applying it to our blasters, open or not. Let us know when this is available and I am sure there will be a lot of orders...especially from the frozen north. Sure, lube up that blaster with AstroGlide or KY and about the fourth or fifth shot when it runs down on the the grips your blaster will end up flying god knows where. Hmmm...you could put a textured condom over the grips too for more "traction". That first reload might be a bit rough though. Cheers!

Jerome Poiret Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 My vote goes for: Slide-Glide Light "for tight guns" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 The Astro Glide bottle would, of course, actually contain Slide Glide.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimel Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Ah....subterfuge and camoflage. That makes a lot more sense than actually using Astroglide or KY. Cheers! Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted January 8, 2003 Author Share Posted January 8, 2003 "The Astro Glide bottle would, of course, actually contain Slide Glide..." lol Thanks for the input all. I was leaning toward the Slide-Glide Lite, so I'm thinking that's it. I just ordered my first batch today; I should have labels ready and in the Store by late next week... be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 How about "Real Cool- Slide Glide" for those of us in the higher elevations. Ya could make it blue or sumphin. I LOVE SLIDE GLIDE, but I have to stop using it when the ambient temp drops below 20f. Happiness IS a warm gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 "I like the Slide Glide Lite." Perhaps too late to chime in, but one of my pet peeves is product names that deliberately misspell common words to be "cute." Really, so many people out there can't spell anyway, why make it harder? I vote Slide-Glide Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimel Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 My sister was an english teacher (high school) and I asked her about the "lite" spelling one time. She consulted some text or another and came back with the information that it was an approved spelling and the meaning was, basically, "similar to the original only lacking something". Egads! Of course I also go ballistic when people can't use grammer correctly ... "the building was lighted"...ahem! "The building was lit" dagnabbit! Sorry for the drift.

kimel Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Okay, so I can't spell without a spell checker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted January 10, 2003 Author Share Posted January 10, 2003 Man, that was a serious burn by EricW. kimel, I can't either, that's why I have a system wide spellchecker on all my machines. I actually feel that's it's improved my spelling ability because I use it to check words at the moment I realize I can't spell them, rather than waiting to spell check at the end of the document. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Duane, bad news, benos is going to offer Slide Glide Lite in Six-Paks of new Nev-R-Spill tubs. I think the goofy spelling started because of branding and trademarking then the marketing weenies got carried away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkeeler Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 So does this mean that you dont have to cut the Slide Glide Lite with oil in cold weather? Thanks bkeeler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted January 16, 2003 Author Share Posted January 16, 2003 Yes, I've received excellent cold-weather-Open-gun reviews thus far. It should be in the store by this weekend, or maybe tomorrow. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowter Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I just shot my gun last weekend in about 20 Degrees weather. I used Slide Glide #1 and it was like molasses. The gun didn't jam but I could actually see the slide opening and closing while shooting. When I would drop the slide, the slide didn't have enough energy to chamber the round usually. Should I switch to "Slide Glide Lite" or cut Slide Glide #1 with oil. (I got lots of FP-10). BTW - I just write "thin" on my Slide Glide #1 tub and "thick" on my Slide Glide #3 tub.
