No, Iam using the stick provided by the manufacture. I have not used a wrong "wax". It was difficult to close from the beginning.

At the risk of making a fool out of myself.
What I'd do:
- clean the thing (water + toothbrush should do)
- put some lubricant (that you know is good for that zipper)
- open/close it a few times without wearing it.
It should then run smoothly when you are not wearing it. Is it hard to do then? If yes, go have a chat with the guy that sold it to you. If no, put in on, try to close it. Is it hard? Yes, your method sucks balls. No, problem solved
.
I hope you already did this, but from your posts I can't really tell what you've done and when you have trouble.
As for the "wrong wax", since nobody agrees on what the "right wax" is (ask 5 drysuit manufacturers, you'll get 10 answers), I wouldn't take a bet. We all have that one that we like.
Hope this kind of helps.

I was making reference to the manufacturer of the zipper, while you are referencing the manufacturer of the suit. I have seen suits with the TiZip installed from a few manufactures and they all have included the silicone lubricant. I am not saying that the wax will not work, but if the zipper manufacturer recommends the silicone lube that is what I would use.
