## Description

desertcart.com : Zipper Wax Zip Lube - Marine Grade Zipper Lubricant Stick and Tool for Boat Canvas, Bimini Snaps, Metal Zippers, Jackets, Coolers, Vinyl Panels, Wetsuits, Drysuits - No Oil Mess : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Perfect! - Ok I was skeptical when I ordered this. My Polaris rzr has a full cab and the zippers in the windows have been a pain for years so I got this to try out. Worked PERFECTLY. Softened the zip action and made getting the windows up and down a breeze.
Review: MUST have for ANY Zipper! - MUST have for ANY Zipper! As titled; if you have any zippers anywhere, on any item, you must get this product. If there’s even the tiniest hint of a catch / stick / roughness in any zipper, this is your cure. For zippers that you might think already work “normally / OK”; it takes them to amazing. For zippers that are rough / sticky / awful, it brings them almost to perfection & like new. This is my second product of this type; first one was the open-ended “crayon” / small stick-type, vs. this which is in a large (huge) chapstick-style tube container. This lube comes in a chapstick container, but about twice as large. A regular chapstick container is 2.75” long vs. 3.75” for this zipper lube, and 9/16” diameter vs. 14/16” for the zipper lube container. Both products are great, but frankly I prefer this one a lot to the other smaller crayon type, for several reasons; -The much larger stick obviously gives you a much larger application area, which makes it easier and faster to apply the lubricant to zippers or snaps. (This does work on zippers as well as snaps. I have tried it mostly on zippers, but applied to snaps and it works amazingly well on old, weathered snaps!) -It’s much more convenient & logical to have a hard plastic container with a cap. Just imagine if you had a chapstick / crayon, but lost the cap; where TF do you store it so it doesn’t go all over the place? I kept the original bag that the other “crayon” zipper Lube came in, and stored it in there, but I can’t really transport it anywhere… Overall the Better Boats Zipper Lube is just a more convenient, faster and easier to use product vs. other styles, but the smaller sticks have their place as well. HOWEVER, the smaller stick type is obviously sometimes better for tighter spaces / smaller zippers…but not always… Items I’ve used this on: -Fanny Packs - main / external AND internal, smaller zippers -Wallets (Large women’s / passport / travel-style wallets with zippers 3/4 the way around) -Men’s pants fly -Backpackss - main / external AND internal, smaller zippers. -Jackets -Womens’ dresses - those teeny, tiny, AWFUL little zippers that are so hard to pull! -Shoes / boots with size zippers Basically unless you have perfect or flawless zippers everywhere, you should buy this Better Boat Zipper Lubricant stick!

## Features

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much product is there - how much does it weigh?**
A: There is .6oz of wax in the tube.  Hope that helps and thanks so much for your interest in Better Boat.

**Q: Now that you've finished your sales pitch, how much is in the tube?**
A: As you can see from my handle I am a retired Sergeant First Class from the Army. I am not an employee of the zipper lube company. My answer about the lube was not a sales pitch. I have a 55 year old Mustang convertible and the zipper for the window was very hard to move and after applying the lube on the zipper I was able to unzip it , then I lubed it completely. It didn’t take that much to lube it so I have about half leftover.

**Q: How do you clean off the residue?**
A: You can wipe the residue away with a cloth and that should help remove it.

**Q: Is this pretty much chap stick/lip balm??**
A: It is like chapstick/lip balm, but I wouldn't use them for a zipper.  This product worked wonderul and it was relatively cheap.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Marine Product

Excellent product. My boat cover zippers were failing. I got this product and now they work like new! Long lasting too! Bought more for next year after using up the first purchase on zippers for winter storage.
