[ About sliding sash windows and acrylic paint v. "oil" ]

I've done a few with acrylic, IME it doesn't like the sun or
traffic. It's quicker than proper gloss, yes, but harder to
use, and comparively un-glossy. OK for a quick in-and-out
job, but I would not use it "for me".


I understand you're supposed to wax the actual edges, rather
than paint, though.

I don't put anything on the sides. I don't know whether someone
called "Jacob" who posts here does, ISTR he's got a sash window
reconditioning bit on his web-site. Worth a look maybe, as are
the bods at Mighton Products.
