Instructions
How to free a stuck window
- Spray the window channels with lubricant.
- Run the pizza cutter all the way around the window. Be careful not to slice the wood, as the blade may be very sharp.
- The window should no longer be stuck; try opening it.
- Once the window is open, take this opportunity to clean all of the moving parts. Spray the tracks with a cleaning solution or paint thinner, and scrub it with a toothbrush or rag.
- You can also use some paint thinner to remove unwanted paint.
