Solution: Apply wax.
Before you do, remove and wash tracks.
"if you don't have windows, your home kinda sucks." LMAO. this is true.
I used WD-40 Dry lube. Much cheaper than wax paper and it has so many other uses. But thanks for sharing. I always like your videos.
When I had the glass replaced in most of my vinyl windows, the pros used silicone spray on the tracks and that made all my windows open and close easily.
I have Andersen crank windows. I used the silicone spray on all moving parts and they are a breeze to open and close now
My dad would do this on the old wood double hung windows!! Worked great
I personally always use a candle. It’s great for drawers too 👍🍺🏴
i would use this trick when i worked in retail. we would rub wax paper on all of the hanging bars so the hangers would slide and not squeak when customers were moving the clothes around
Great tip . If I do it then I would make it easier for my son to be able to sneak out without me hearing him open the window 🤔😄
How do your know your son hasn’t already seen this video? 🤔
Wrong video for you mom..sorry. That would be found in the HOW TO discipline your kid video
Secretly install a cheap alarm that makes high pitched squealing noises when opened
Busteeeed! And it'll wake you up before he succeeds 😆
You can use a candle or soap bar also. Good idea on the paper, some elements
Thank you Daniel San .., wax on … no wax off.
I read a comment somewhere else mentioning powdered graphite, it’s in a tube and available most places and fairly inexpensive. I’m going to try both versions..wax paper and graphite. House we bought had vinyl replacements and they’re all different sizes and I swear I have a couple that look to have been forced into a too small of an opening. The way everything has been done here certainly was done w less experience and very small amounts of money. It’s a charming home though..my very first.

Video closes.
Nice little pro tip right there 👊
‘If you don’t have windows your house kinda sucks’….🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're living up to your page name with the bloopers. That was a great tip tho... I just did it and worked like a dream .... thx!
🍻
Living near the beach, we used Surf Wax for the same purpose. Worked fairly well for couple weeks
I find the best solution is to have someone else do it for me.
Woah I can't really believe this worked so well. My wife was ready to have someone come and replace the entire window.
Thumbs up Funny Man. Thanks
I cleaned the track and used cold candle wax worked perfect for me.
I use silicone spray and it works like a charm!
I bet!
Hahaha I love your sense of humor 😂😂😂 good jokes here
Pretty cool! Thanks. When did you say to "hit it a couple times" do you mean to do it a couple times consecutively or wait a week or two before hitting it again? And can you keep using the same wax paper over and over, or should it be a new piece each time you do it?
Lemon pledge works well too.
Bar of soap works well also
first clean the tracks, then run the soap though the tracks.
Beeswax would do the job. But even better than that would be silicone spray. Although, this will probably only work if wooden windows have been painted.
Lol. So funny. Thanks for the tip
Old timers told me just use leftover bar soap, they did on all their wooden drawers and even door hinges
neat trick
Looks pretty simple. Does it work better than Jigaloo, and how long does it last? I’m always fighting with my sliding windows, especially in the winter.
It lasts longer than Jigaloo, and less messy. It does take a bit longer to work it in though.
Thats awesome
Can we use grease on the tracks
How long does it last?
My window installers always recommended Spray Silicone. I have never heard of using the wax/wax paper. I wonder if you have tried a combination of wax/wax paper And Silicone spray? Would that give an additive effect? Thx!
I've being using silicone spray with last 40 years , works great on all window types ,
Why not use candle wax?
Would a very thin application of paste wax work well?
I’m sure it would
What if someone lives in a hollow tree trunk? Asking for a friend...
Is it tough getting in and out of said hollow trunk? If so wax paper will help.
@@TheFunnyCarpenter what an idea... Thank you!
Great video bud!!! for everything that doesn't want to move i use WD-40 XD, i have a question bud, if there is only 3 tools you could keep, what tools would it be? and have a great weekend bud!!!
A drill, table saw, Richards red bar.
@@TheFunnyCarpenter nice!!! Never heard if a richard red bar, gotya google it real quick😅🤣
Take a giant spoonful of Crisco and…oh wait. Nevermind. Don’t do that.
Back end of a candle.
Nora! 💕 🐕
Can u do this with a sliding glass door
Yes
I guess it works for me as well
You know, there are a lot of people that don’t have silicone spray, a candle and other things in their house, but they do have wax paper
What about screens? I have many that are just too hard to open.
I think it would help.
So you put wax on the contact points ...
Exactly
My fiancé and I just purchased a home in December, and the windows are old wood framed windows. Only one opens, and I believe they were painted shut, or they're just frozen. How do I get them open without breaking them? I feel like I need to open with all my might, but it feels like they will break. Please help! LOL
If they are painted shut, you can try cutting the paint at the moving seem. I’d use an olfa utility knife.
@@TheFunnyCarpenter and if they're not painted shut? LOL How do you unstick old windows?
@@chadharvy it could be a seasonal thing… or try some wd40, to get them moving and then clean up that mess and use some wax paper or silicone lubricant.
I do it with a candle. Just rub it on the tracks.
Ever try this on a sliding glass door? I'm going to go try it.
Please let us know how it works out.
I have a different idea. The best way to fix a sticking window is to throw a hammer through it. That's a permanent solution, whereas just waxing the track is temporary, because the wax may eventually wear away.
Yes, you can use the wax paper to wax down the floor in front of the broken window...that way the racoons will slip and fall on their way in- free dinner:)
I’ve been tempted to throw a hammer through many times! If the cost of replacement wasn’t so high I’d be rid of them. They’re not only hard to deal with but they are extremely drafty.
Well, I didn't say it was a perfect solution.
@@TheFunnyCarpenter we wouldn't fall for that
@@qwincyq6412 because vinyl windows go bad quick. It’s plastic and so it bends and warps after a few years, especially when facing the sun. Wax paper, WD-40 and caulk can’t fix a bad window.
😍
Been using silicone spray for years. Easier and faster.
looking at my double hung vinyl windows .... hmmm
wax on....wax off
I have windows in my house!
I just knew your place didn’t suck😂
@@TheFunnyCarpenter 😆😆😆😆😆
Couldn't you just get candle wax and use that?
Cmon Nora, you didn't even offer to help.
If it doesn’t involve snacks, she’s out
This doesnt work for any of the windows i find hard to open. Once I get in then this would work. I wouldnt care then.
