zippers, no not that kind

  • Im sure I can Google it but zipper came undone after it was zipped, but thought I would ask how here how to fix it. (no the zipper did not slide back, the zipped side came undone) Just soap it well and pull it back or should it take it to a professional zipper guy.

  • Sounds like your zipper is wore out. You'll probably have to get it replaced.

  • There are so many jokes going through my head right now I don't know where to start! :rollsmile:

    When a man lies, he murders some part of the world.  These are the pale deaths, which men miscall their lives.  All this I cannot bear to witness any longer.  Cannot the kingdom of salvation, take me home.

  • Assuming you mean it came unzipped at the end that would be at the bottom of a coat zipper.


    You might be able to carefully work it back and off the end.


    You may have to hold the slider with pliers and will probably have to get a little rough with it.


    This will typically happen when the little male piece isn't fully inserted into the receiver when starting it.


    If both ends are still meshed and it just came apart in the middle then it's probably worn out.


    And, I like wax better as a zipper lube. Beeswax is really good.
