SlipIt Sliding Compound

Lubricant for any combination of metals, plastic and wood

Slipit makes wood almost magically slippery. I use it anywhere that wood slides against wood or metal. I’ve put it on old wooden drawers that used to stick horribly. After applying Slipit, it felt like they had slick plastic guides. A couple years later, and the effect is only slightly diminished, still no sticking.

I use it on my carpentry jigs, and it makes wooden parts slide effortlessly. It has less staying power on metal, but it’s better than anything else I’ve tried on table saws, band saws, jointers, hand saw blades and anything else that slides against wood. If applied to a tool, it won’t stain the wood you’re working with like most other lubricants, or repel finishes like oil or silicone can.

If you’re a carpenter or have a house full of wooden drawers, you’ve got to try this stuff.
