Default Wooden drawer problem

Scout Lady wrote:
I have an old cabinet that has wooden pull out drawers inside. Two of the
drawers are very hard to pull out. Everything is aligned properly so I guess
the wood is a bit swollen. Is there anything I can put on the wooden drawers
so they will slide in and out without hanging to yank on them?



Quite often just rubbing some paraffin wax on the contacting surfaces
will do the job - an old white candle is a good source. A thin film is
all that is required -- if just a bit doesn't work a lot probably won't
make it any better.
