Title: Zipper help Post by: somegirl on May 11, 2008, 06:42:58 PM If you have zippers on your gear that are getting stiff or stuck, try applying some wax. I took a candle and rubbed it onto my boot zippers, and they worked just like new.

Title: Re: Zipper help Post by: scott_araujo on May 15, 2008, 07:09:53 AM A crayon is just the right size for most zippers. It can also hide minor scratches in your paint. Just scribble over the scratch and then buff off, the wax will fill in the scratch. Pick a color that matches for either application.

All the zippers on my Teknic 2pc suit are starting to get caught up. Sounds like this is the ticket :) Title: Re: Zipper help Post by: brimo on May 21, 2008, 02:42:46 PM Dry lube type silicon spray is # 1 Doesn't attract crud like other stuff I use it on tent zippers as well.

The zipper of my Alpinestars broke the other day and I would like to have it fixed.
