stuck windows - looking for non-smelly silicone lube
I have windows that are friction based (no rollers) and need silicone
lube every few years or so. The mfg recommends silicone lube as other lubes and oils attract dirt, which jams up the surfaces. The silicone lube works great and is long lasting, but the problem is the nasty petroleum smell that lasts for days, nearly a week. From what I could find out, silicone lubes use a "carrier" that evaporates, leaving the silicone behind. Are there any silicone lubes that don't use a smelly carrier, or even 100% pure silicone that I can swab on the windows? Is the carrier really needed? |
