One great zipper lube
« on: Jul 09, 2022, 08:21 PM »
Picked up 3 older sled style popup shanties at a yard sale this weekend & started prepping em for da season. The zippers on 2 were pretty tough to open & the other has a wrinkled bumpy look.
I've used chapstick & other wax and melted w/ a hair dryer along w/ zipper lube which was messy & stunk.
I p/u this stuff at Menards & I'll definitely use it again. Sprayed both sides of zipper while rubbing in w/ rag and zippers now slide like hot knife through butter.
No smell but did slightly discolor fabric.
2.99 can did 3 shanties

Silicone is great for everything. Makes boots, gloves and shoes water repellent. Makes zippers glide. Spray it on yer zipper on yer pants for quick ins and outs. Sprayed on rubber molding around vehicle doors will keep 'em from freezing after getting washed in winter. Won't collect dirt and grime. Sprayed on bottom of garage door rubber seal keeps it from freezing in wet sloppy winters. Sprayed on snow blower augers and chutes, keeps snow from sticking. Keeps gun parts dry and lubed. Great on kitchen drawer glides. Great on nylon slides. Great on the bottom of yer jet sled or smitty sled skis. I use if for everything.    ;D
