My zip is not working very well...

It was working perfectly last year, but I did not rince it before winter and I did not use it a lot last winter. Thus the salt made like a rock coating around and inside the zip. Now, I just can not open it. That s quite embarrassing you may think?

Well, would you have any suggestion to solve this issue. I would like to use my zip again!

Oh, by the way, I have already tried to soak it into fresh water for 12 hours, without any results.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions! I speak about my kite bag zip, of course!

why no wd40? works well for me.

green, will warm water work well enough?

wouldn't mind soaking my boardbag but its sorta a little big for the kitchen sink

All my zips on my kite bag just snapped off because of salt. But then again i did go kiteboarding with it on my back
