Having once worked for Snap On here in the UK , with their tool boxes with their older type drawer slides I always used candle wax on them, No messy spray and after effects !
Kubota B8200, then a Kubota L3130 HST, now a Kubota L3400 HST
Or, try something called Slipit, which comes as a spray or, best for your project, in a can as as paste? or gell?. Contains no silicones, or so they say, but seems to last and work. Good for old double hung windows and wooden drawer slides, too.
