Zipper care

[Samsdad]

The zippers on my older pu work, but they could slide a little smoother I think...

I rubbed candle wax on one and it helped some...

What do you use, if anything?

Silicone is good on zippers. It's best to put the silicone on a rag and wipe it on so that it doesn't get all over the material.

My wifey says just rubbing a bar of soap on the zipper helps.

The PopUpTimes store also has this Snap Stick

I bought one of those, then promptly misplaced it, so I can't comment on it. Seems like others have used it and liked it.

The SnapStick worked great for snaps. I used it on my tonneau cover of my truck. I have heard that chapstick works pretty well for this too.

I have gone through a couple of tubes of Snap Stick.  It works very well.  In the house we use soap or bee's wax.  I don't think I would use the bee's wax on the PU though.  I wouldn't want bees coming in to get the wax.

That would be used beeswax, though.  No self respecting bee would take used beeswax back to the hive.  They'd probably feed him to the wasps if he tried.
