Stuck zip...

[Vic]

Hi All.

I've recently acquired an old drysuit. It loks to be in reasonable shape, so would be great for club equipment - except that the zip is stuck shut.

I've tried a few things to release it - vinegar was the most effective at getting rid of the green gunge all over it - but still no movement.

Does anyone have any natty techniques for freeing it up?

Thanks!

Vic.

Try some hot water then a good soaking in WD40 (keep it away from the latex seals though).
