om...
I Would like to lubricate drawer slides (friction, not ball bearing),
and wanted to know what you would suggest for this purpose. It seems
that grease is the way to go, but what kind?


Bar soap or canning wax.


Bar soap is hydrophilic, wax hydrophobic.
Choose well, grasshoppa.


I never could tell the difference, no wonder a bar of soap lasts for
years...and my jam tastes funny.
