How do you make the whole slide slippery?

We used garden hoses at the top (each side) and a sprinkler in the middle. It wasn't ideal but it worked.

Nothing usually but once in a while the kids would put dish soap o. Their stomachs and go even faster!!:)

You have to keep wetting it with a hose or direct a sprinkler on it. Dish soap makes it even more skippy. The material stays wet and slippery pretty long after wetting with a hose.

Hi! Our school bought this slide for our annual spirit day celebration. The kids bought a gallon of liquid dish soap and walked the length of the slip and slide....drizzling the soap as they walked. Then we manned the sides of the slide with kids and hoses. Voila! A very fun Slip and Slide. Kids have to be VERY careful because it can get TOOOO slippery.

We use 2 in-line sprinklers that spray in half circles up the side and 1 regular sprayer from the top. We had to add a couple of short length hoses to set it up that way. Then the kids rub baby shampoo on their tummies before going down. It is SO much fun! We do have a rule that there are to be "no feet" on the slide, as it would be dangerous to walk on. If you have a spot that offers some shade, that can help too, because if you have hot spots where the water doesn't hit, it can hurt. Last summer the neighbor kids brought their pool toys over and slid down on those- even tough the directions say that you shouldn't ... What a great time!

Put liquid soap such as dish detergent or any hand or body soap on the entire slide.

u need to adjust the weight in the slide(tan piece that makes it go up and down). sometimes its too heavey and if that doesn't work, you have to manually slide the tan piece yourself. For some reason when you dive, it goes to far down on the string.Just slide tan piece back half inch to the right and you can dive and climb again. just try not to hold dive button down to long. I have two and it happens on both.

Sorry - I don't know how to fix this. Mine is not bent but rarely will flip up and lock the slide back - are you sure it's not just flipped up? It's easy to do when you are pulling the slide back because it takes so much force to pull it back. Sorry I can't be more help!

There is a screw on the slides that allows you to lock the slides in place, I think the folks having trouble with the slides have not made certain that this screw is all the way loose. Mine was not and the slide was a bit stiff. Once I loosened the screw....smooth as glass!!

My grandson slides down it sometimes but it really does not work well as a small slide. It is not slippery enough. He pretty well has to push himself down the ramp. He does love it though. he is a little dare devil and goes down backwards with the little bike.

That's all there is to it. And why the price is low. Hold it up to the window or the sky or an electric light. Take out the side. Put in another.I use it just to see if I want to keep the slide or toss it.

I am not sure, there is no rubber to stop you from sliding, and it is like waring dust mops on your feet. I have not had any trouble, and I am blind.

hi Bahr they are tight I used a rubber mallit& or just press hard & use alachoal so it will slide easer.

My slide locks in in the closed position only. The very back of the slide it rolls on (the part that is screwed to the desk) has a hill on the the top and bottom it rolls over by moving the inside part of the slide further. Put your hand on the inside of the part it rolls on and slide your fingers toward the back, if you feel an area that moves in, then it should lock in position.

There isn't. The surface is rough to stop slipping, but no sticky grip on the surface.

for my wood floors.....grid up for antislip (that means clear side goes on the floor). at first I did it in reverse and when I walked on it, it would slide.hope this helps.

No, I think you need a longer slide. This one would be too straight up and down !

After I did that it hasn't came off since I used some grease to make slide all the way on

Get a butter knife or coin and slip though the little opening on the right side the slide it a little and the case shall come apart ..( I just tried and it worked)

The slide needs to be on for stability. If you remove it then the bed isn't stable (as per instructions).

Just use your thumb to slide it off. If you can't, try using a rubber glove or something.

Put your fingers at the top or bottom of the grips and slide them up or down DO NOT wrap fingers or squeeze the grips. If you do this they will not slide Hope this helps Roger
