Solution: Apply wax. Before you do, remove and wash tracks.

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 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.

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.

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?

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.

@perniciouspete4986
@perniciouspete4986 2 года назад
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.
@TheFunnyCarpenter
@TheFunnyCarpenter 2 года назад
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:)
@qwincyq6412
@qwincyq6412 2 года назад
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.
