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.


FINE, GUNKY BUT OK
