Does soap really work on zippers? |
|
I have a coat that I can't zip. It keep coming apart. None of the teeth are missing or even crooked.
Does anyone have a suggestion? The coat is not that old and in great shape.

It also makes it easier to hammer nails or screw screws into a difficult board straight if you rub them on a bar of soap first. My cousin is a carpenter and taught me that trick last night.

just rub it over the teeth as you would soap. the soap works better in that it seeps into the spaces a bit better, but the lead works if you try it :)
