Default Best Lubricant for double-hung wood windows in aluminum track?

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.

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.


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.
