Dear Constant Reader.
Happy Friday! Here’s your tip!
Sticky zipper? Lubricate it!
If your zipper is not gliding smoothly, rub the teeth with a lubricant (but not that kind…). There are various kinds of commercial zipper lubricants for sale, but there’s really no need to spend the money. You can use a candle, a bar of soap, a crayon, even lip balm, as long as it’s waxy. If the zipper is metal, you can also rub it with the lead of a pencil. This trick also works for a key if a lock is hard to open.
Like this tip? There are lots more in Miss Mina Murray’s Little Book of Better Burlesque.
Oh, The Glamourous Life!
