Tennis Bag
How do I get a frozen/molded zipper to work again on my tennis bag?
My bag I got for highschool tennis has frozen/molded zippers on it. The bags were left in the boys locker room for more than a year. Now, I can even budge the zippers and I don’t want to buy a new bag becuz everyone has that same bag and you can no longer buy it. I ‘ve been trying lime remover but it wont work on some. Does anybody have any suggestions???
Hi Ashley,
OMG – I really don’t know where the the other guy answering this is coming from!!!!
For a stuck zipper, you can try spraying the zipper with WD40 or a form of oil penetrant. Let it soak for a while & then use a set of needle nose pliers to tug on it & help release it. A light oil such as “3 in 1″ or a sewing machine oil could also be used to help its release.
Believe it or not (& I don’t know the material used in the bag) but years ago, we used to shake a humble can of Coke up & whilst you open the can, spray it on the metal zipper. It’s unbelievable what Coke can do. It may be worth a last resort. I have seen it work numerous times.
Best of luck.
