Repairing old dresser with worn slides

You might think about using some strips of scrap laminate (Formica, etc.) Works great.

If you don’t have any scrap laying around, you can order a piece of countertop edging from your local laminate dealer. Good luck!

Cheers!

Wax is the best thing for wood drawers. If the bottom of the drawer is worn quite a bit, like Dave said, you can plane down the bottoms a little and install a rub strip. New wood, or UHMW polyethylene.

Wax should solve these issues if the runners/slots aren’t too worn. Rocklers carries a super slick tape product for making these slide easier as well.

^ ditto the wax. Works great, easy, re-apply as needed.
