How do you fix a difficult zipper?
Question:I just bought a purse on ebay and the zipper is tough to zip closed. Any suggestions?
Answers:
Rub some candle wax on the zipper...=)
rub it with candle wax or soap!
good luck
A little parafin (wax) or graphite would work.
e-mail the seller and let them know the problem with the zipper if they are a good e-Bayer then they will probably send another purse so they won't get a negative rating by you. You may have to pay for the shipping.
Run a pencil over the zipper several times the graphite will act as a lubricant
spread a thin layer of unscented candle wax (not the melted kind cuz it will just burn ur fingers and ruin the bag, use the flaky filmy kind) up and down the zipper, then zip the zipper up and down fast several times. wipe off the wax and the zipper should be a little easier to deal w/
Make sure the cloth on the sides of the zipper are not getting caught in the zipper teeth.
