Seasalt crystals problem

[jamila]

Seasalt cristals in the zipper of the divebag, and I can not open it. Does anyone have a tip on how I can open it safely without damaging the zipper?

I'd try soaking the zipper in clean water for a while.

If that isn't practical, I'd try some liquid zipper lube.

The easiest and safest thing to start with is simply an overnight soak in warm water. If you also have sand in the zipper, then adding some baby shampoo will help loosen up and get that out also.

Good luck.

Thank you Charlie99!

I will soak the divingbag in the bathtup overnight right away!

Thank you Don Burke!

I will soak the divingbag in the bathtup overnight and hopefully it will open tomorrow, if not then I will give it a go with some liquid zipper lube.
