Hi,

Zip that goes around a right angle on my fishing bag is stiff to use. Anybody know of a non-messy way to free up this zip?

Thanks.

    Rubbing with a candle works well, whether the zip teeth are metal or plastic. bob m

    There’s a product called Zip Tech that works well. It also works as a cleaner. Lip balm like Chapstick will do the trick in a pinch, but like all the waxy remedies (candles, ect.) the wax will eventually attract and hold dirt. joed
