Tower blind windows sticking

    For those of you who hunt/have hunted from tower blinds, what have you done to eliminate the sticking of the glass to the rubber gasket?

    My thoughts of things to try are: a good cleaning of the glass with rubbing alcohol, or some sort of talc powder on the gasket material.

    The sticking makes just enough noise when you open a window to scare a deer out of its skin.

    I’m in a Muddy Bull.

    Thx

    I leave my windows open most of the time unless it’s really windy

    What do you think about cleaning like you said with alcohol or Acetone and then spraying the tracks etc with Silicone? Not sure if Silicone freezes or not. I am guessing the propellent will evaporate and leave the silicone.

    3in1 makes a lubricant specifically for rubberized seals, might be worth giving a shot

    Wipe the rubber seals with silicone lubricant. Then clean the windows and wipe the edge of the windows where they contact the seal with paste wax.

    If u crack them open when you first get in the blind does it still stick later. I’ve seen this help

    Yep, any sort of lubricant is what I would always recommend on a Banks Blind. Spray silicone works best. Spray it liberally on a rag and wipe the bulb seal down good.
