That old timer at the hardware store told me to use paraffin wax on my stubborn table saw fence, and after 8 months of fighting with it, it glides like butter now.
Has anyone else gotten game-changing advice from a random old guy at a store that actually turned out better than any online tutorial?

It's one of those small things where you kick yourself for waiting so long to give it a shot.
