Hmm, how does one apply it? I had to use a pair of players to zip one of my boots today! I was not wearing extra socks, so I was able to untie and get my foot out without unzipping it!Quote:

Thanks! Seeing as I hear we have another storm headed here for Thursday, good to know!Quote:

Karen, could you hit the zipper teeth carefully with some WD-40? or would that stain your boots? Maybe you've heard what we say in Chicago: "If it moves, but it shouldn't: duct tape. If it doesn't move, but it should: WD-40." I have a friend who grew up in west central Indiana (home of lake effect snow) and she would rub a cake of Ivory soap on stubborn winter coat and boot zippers.Quote:

He couldn't find one in the catalog, so he asked around and found out that it's not a 'zipper'...
It's an "interlocking slide fastener"?
Zipper repair hints?

Recycling plastic?
If you buy 6 packs of toilet paper and cut the wrapper carefully, you can re-use it as plastic bag for stuff to recycle.
Thank you, RICHARD, for this and the zipper repair link!

What I do is take a needle and thread - of a contrasting color - and throw a few stitches at the back of the neck line, near the stitching on the collar where the label USED to be.
It even helps when I take my laundry out of the dryer - I know exactly what is the front and if the shirt IS inside out.

I have tag-less underwear, too.
I have no problem finding out the front from the back.
The holes help?:eek:
