Does soap really work on zippers?
I have a coat that I can't zip. It keep coming apart. None of the teeth are missing or even crooked.

Does anyone have a suggestion? The coat is not that old and in great shape.

3. Yup
It also makes it easier to hammer nails or screw screws into a difficult board straight if you rub them on a bar of soap first. My cousin is a carpenter and taught me that trick last night.

7. yup ..
just rub it over the teeth as you would soap. the soap works better in that it seeps into the spaces a bit better, but the lead works if you try it :)
