I've got a new Swish aluminium curtain track fitted. It's been bent to fit our bay but the bends are quite shallow.
As soon as we hung our heavy (but inside the weight limit) curtains, it just stopped working even on the straight bit. We think this is because it has a sticking-out-bit to let the curtains overlapping, this means the curtain is pulling down and twisting the fitting rather than pulling directly vertical, causing it to rub.
I've seen people suggest using certain lubricants but I'm not sure to what purpose exactly... to leave a low-friction layer or to have a 'wet' lubricant?
We think we have some furniture polish, I also have some special WD40-PTFE spray and I wondered if that would be good?
