Coating zippers on portables

[tikkalover]

Read on here that dish soap on a tooth brush works. Anyone have any other things to try? I wonder if a chap stick would work it would be nice and neat to use. Anyone ever try that?

I've been told to try a product called "Never-wet".

I've heard a candle , crayon or a hunk of Beeswax.

im not gonna lie, ... I got real board one day and sprayed the zipper on mine with PAM out of the kitchen cabinet, ... it lubed the zipper really good and worked all winter long no problems...

I thought of Pam also, but wouldn't it collect dust and dirt?

Idk?? It worked almost too good on our door hinges in the bedroom (now the doors slowly open back up if not shut all the way house must leaning slightly ) I had my pop-up in my basement and was down there for a few weeks after I sprayed Pam

Used a tube of Chapstick on alot of zippers. Got a small soft Yeti for Christmas this year it came with a tube that looks and feels like Chapstick. Didn't taste it though.

Anything Yeti Id read the instructions first, Gravity and wind could open/close the zipper if it works too slick.

I bet you don't store it inside the Yeti, as it will be frozen and unusable. :;:smokin

Just threw it away, I'll stick with the chapstick.:;:sorry

I went with the chap stick, because my wife has like 30 of the things in the drawer. Well now 28 as I used one on the outside and one on the inside. Don't ask me why she has so many, as I don't know either.

What flavor chapstick did you go with Tikka?
I have used chapstick and bow string wax on my ice portable as well as my hunting blind. The bow string wax really helped reduce noise on my hunting blind, don't ask me how
