how do i stop sliding door freezing to body

i have always found that when it gets cold enough to freeze i put a little 3in 1 oil on cloth and gently run around door seal and squirt a little into the door locks and that works as oil doesnt freeze and then you can get into your car or bongo in this case and you can operate the locks as well

I have some 3 in one somewhere. I will conduct a few trials with various recommendations.. Piggy wee might be a bit hard to come by tho' Thank you all for your help..

The door opening scenario is really dodgy tho.. I nearly had flat batteries as I too had pulled at the slidey door enough to make the light come on... and it was on until I finished work...

glycerine i thought was the stuff you added to cake icing to keep it soft cant think theres anything dodgy in that, kinky posssibly

you used to get it from baking supplies cant think i,ve seen it in a supermarket though, me being not the best cook in the world.

nitroglycerine maybe a bit more dodgy.

Absolutely, thats the stuff. At a quid got to be worth a try.If it says for skin care maybe it has some lubricating qualities :roll:
I am now lucky enough to live somewhere my doors dont freeze often!!
Just know that when used seems to soften the door rubber surround,dont know what it does to cakes though,is it added to icing?, sorry am only a bloke!!!

vague memory of school cookery lessons you added a drop or two to the icing sugar when mixing it to make that fondant type icing that doesnt set hard.
