Thanks for the tip. Does it cause problems on wood that is going to be
painted?

Silicone is a MAJOR headache for furniture finishers as it causes
fisheye, where surface tension pulls wet finish away from the spot.
Use it CAREFULLY and avoid any wood nearby.

Yep, and it doesn't smell as much either. Silicone is pretty inert stuff
compared to most other lubricants (except maybe for spit, and that dries
up pretty fast.) Should be available at any hardware store.

Good to have around for things which need a little added slipperiness,
like a sliding window which is a little too tight.

HTH,
