[Shop-talk] Window lubricant

[Pat Horne]

I talked with a friend who restores wood windows for the last 30+ years & he said to use paraffin wax, it’s the best thing he has used. 

Peace, Pat

I have tilt in double hung windows, that I installed about 10 years ago.  It's gotten harder for my wife to open them herself and I'm looking for a lubricant that will not be sticky and attract dirt.  The windows are wood and the jamb liners have some type of fabric strip which I guess is what causes the friction.  I tried spraying them with Liquid Wrench dry lubricant, but it only helped slightly.  As for shop content, I plan on keeping said lubricant in the shop🙂.  Thanks for any advice.  Shelton, CT
