Wax for wooden runners and contact edges
Apply a small amount to the suitable wooden surfaces that rub as the drawer moves. You do not need to coat the drawer interior. Wipe away excess and gently open and close the refitted drawer to check its movement, following the furniture maker’s guidance.
Check why the drawer is sticking
Wax can help suitable wooden contact surfaces glide, but it cannot repair a swollen drawer, a loose joint or worn runners. Empty and inspect the drawer first. If sticking persists, look for obstruction, misalignment or damage rather than adding more product.
Match the care to the runner
This is a wood-on-wood drawer-care product. Metal ball-bearing slides, plastic runners and soft-close mechanisms need their maker’s maintenance advice. Patch test finished wood and use a thin film on clean, dry contact surfaces.
