Politicians should only get paid if the budget is balanced, and there is
enough left over to pay them.

Used to be some stuff in a metal push tube called Door-Ez, worked for
drawers, too. Check the hardware store. Otherwise, get some beeswax.



Door-Ez is sold at car parts stores. You can find it online.

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?

The simplest is WD-40, but it wears off - I'd go with white lithium
grease.

Cheers!

Don, yes, I will get some teflon spray, seems to be the cleanest
option.

WHHATTTT????? You didn't get a couple of WD-40 freebies at IMTS??


I got some TapMagic freebies and a free book "What men know about
women", also from TapMagic. Also some Loc-Line stuff.


It must be a very small book. ;-)

Cheers!

We got the TapMAgic, but I don't recall the booklet. Is it serious,
or some humour?


Make one guess. :)

I wonder how one page can be called a "book." ;-)

Cheers!

Bowling alley wax works suprisingly well as a lubricant. A while
back I
got a band saw, and found that the tension knob was almost unmovable
when the tension was high enough to make a 1/2" blade happy. Looked
for
something to lube it with that wouldn't hold sawdust, and tried the
bowling-alley wax. So far that one coat has had it happy for over a
year.


And where does one source "bowling-alley was" ?

Used to be that any hardware store had it--the brand is "Butchers
Bowling Alley Wax". Googling that will find many vendors.
