Yet, when I suggest wax you poo-poo it. YOU just wanted the glory of the perfect solution! Besides, I heard you use KY in your drawers...from that

5-gallon bucket you buy every month.

He started paying for it? ;-)

Well, he does get a deal...it's only been used...once.

WHHATTTT????? You didn't get a couple of WD-40 freebies at IMTS??

I got some TapMagic freebies and a free book "What men know about women", also from TapMagic. Also some Loc-Line stuff.

That's just his excuse to chase people, with a q-tips.

We got the TapMAgic, but I don't recall the booklet. Is it serious, or some humour?

It's only good for wood-on-wood (porous surfaces) Tawmy me boy.

Paraffin, the USA type not the British type, on wood. ...lew...

Soap tends to attract moisture, so I wouldn't use it.

The telescope people often use Formica for bearing surfaces. The favorite choice was Ebony Star said to have the best sliding surface. If you are going to use some Formica, it would be worth searching to see what they currently suggest. Ebony Star is no longer manufactured.

Used to be some stuff in a metal push tube called Door-Ez, worked for drawers, too. Check the hardware store. Otherwise, get some beeswax.
