Review on Lundmark Pure Bee's Wax Lubricating Compound, 🐝 the Ultimate .7-Ounce Solution for Smooth Performance - 9105W7-100 by Dani Alvarez

After reading many negative reviews and my own trial and error I have come to the conclusion that this product requires a more complex application process than many likely do. To lubricate wooden drawer slides, simply rubbing wax into the wood will likely increase friction and make the drawers "sticky". I have found the following process to be effective. The aim is to saturate the wood with wax, remove excess wax and polish the wax surface by sanding with fine sandpaper. Impregnating wood with wax requires heating. You can use an iron, preferably without holes in the bottom (not a steam iron) or with a heat gun. I used the last option which made it easy to get into bottlenecks. Look closely where the drawer slides touch. These are the only areas that need to be covered. Heat the wood with hot air and apply wax to the heated wood. Then apply heat to the waxed surface and repeat the process until the wax fuses to the wood and the surface is completely covered with wax. You can actually see the wax turning into a liquid and soaking into the wood. The areas where more wax is needed can be recognized by the color, the areas not covered with wax were slightly white for me. After coating the slides with wax, use the wax puck to gently press down the length of the slide in one motion. If the puck gets stuck, some paraffin will come off. Heat these areas to melt the wax. Keep doing this until the puck begins to slide freely. Use a metal or plexiglass scraper to scrape off excess wax (I used a scraper sold for waxing skis). Lightly sand the surface with 400-800 grit sand. Sand paper and sand with 1500-1800 grit sandpaper. I like to grind the slider all the way down in one stroke rather than going back and forth in shorter sections to keep the surface even. This process significantly reduced friction and greatly improved the gliding of my drawers.
