Default Apply poly to drawer slides?

I vote just wax, also. I use Tre-Wax for that type of raw wood
application.

Looks like I'll be going with just wax. I've had good results with just
wax in smaller drawers (they only support up to a pound), but was wondering
if poly+wax would make a definite quality difference. I've got to do the
rest of the piece, so the additional cost is fairly low.


Polyurinestain is not a lube.

Waxes are.

Waxes will soak into the pores of the wood (only if -not- choked with
poly) and provide continued slickness even after the original coating
is rubbed off.

Any questions?
