I have just made up a cabinet which has 2 drawers in it. Although the drawers are straight and aren't catching on anything, I would prefer them to sun a bit more smoothly.
Does anyone have any tips?

(The runner is plastic and the drawer is made fron that laminated stuff)

Thanks.

Rub the runner with candle wax or a smear of vaseline.

Or french chalk from a sewing shop

Ah thanks to both of you.

I remembered that it helped to rub it with something but couldn't remember what!
The wax worked a treat.

Or a bar of face or bath soap...

Or spray some WD40 along the runners, quick and easy.
