just spray it down with water. if it still doesen't slide you need another material on the top.

would you have to put it on with a butter knife or can i use any knife

your gonna wanna use a butter knife. a real knife is too sharp, may nick the rail, and if that nick cuts you when you fall you'll get mass amount of butter in your blood... high cholesterol. Rolling Eyes

not to mention all the butter that would wash off into the water making the little fish fat

You should use low fat butter! Better for the fish........

be aware of that extra salted butter slides better than less salted. and if you want to get max effect you fry the butter first, and then use the fat that's remaining

K'jellman or use extra virgin olive oil....for that mediterranean slide to it

apple103 . or if you desire a tad of russian touch just drench the whole thing in vodka. preferably smirnoff

if you can't find the low fat butter use bacon grease.

cook up a couple pounds of bacon and save the grease... put it in the fridge and let it harden... then use a rubber spatula to spread the freshly cooled thick clumps of grease onto the rail.... voila!! rail lube, and a snack Afro
