I have just finished reglazing one of my double-hung windows with new
thermopane glass, refinished the wood frame and am now ready to
reinstall in the aluminum track. I am thinking WD-40 is not the best
choice for a lubricant; a spray-on teflon might be better. Anyone
have first-hand experience with teflon spray? Any particular brand
names to look for?

TIA for any advice.

Beeswax or paraffin wax?

Rub the sliding surfaces of both firmly with wax. Paraffin or a candle would
work fine.

Either the previously suggested wax or paraffin. You might also consider
silicone. It is safe for wood plastic and metal.

I've got a lot of old candle wax, will use it tomorrow, too late
tonite to do it. Will report how it works.

I use saw wax. It usually comes in a tube and you push on one end
and it comes out the other sort of like chap stick. It's very handy
for a lot of other things like lubricating drill bits, screws and
drawer slides.

HE IS ASKING ABOUT TEFLON SPRAY NOT YOUR HILLBILLY REMEDIES

BEES WAX OR ANY WAX GUNK WILL EVENTUALLY DRY UP WITH THE HEAT AND
ELEMENTS AND RUST UP THE WORKS

TEFLON IS EASY TO APPLY
JUST SPRAY THE TRACK STARTING FROM THE TOP DOWN
AND DO SO YEARLY OR AS NEEDED

DON'T LISTEN TO THOSE REDNECKS
THEY AIN'T GOTS NOT EDUMACATION
JUST WOODLAND "NO HOW" LOL

Silicone comes to mind. Usually clear, and doesn't attract dust. I
havn't lubed windows, but Snap from Advance Auto Parts and Battery has
worked for various things for me.

Joke: What happened to the woman who didn't know the difference
between vaseline and putty?

Just put the waxed windows in, they work great so far. Now they will
be closed for about 3 months, when they might get opened once a
month. Will see then how things work out.
