Equipment help

[tcannizzo]

I have an older Diamond iX3 umpire bag that I haven't used in quite a few years. The problem is the zippers seem hopelessly stuck in their respective positions.

I've even sprayed some WD-40 and tried using pliers to free them up, but I have had no success.

Anyone have a magic potion?

I don't know if you have metal or plastic zippers. It might make a difference on what kind of solution you might try.

I've used graphite on some zippers in the past. Now that you've sprayed it with WD-40m I don't know if that might cause more problems.

I've also used a simple bar of soap at times when nothing else was available.

You've probably already checked to see if there are any loose threads or other obstructions blocking the zipper's path.

Good luck!

Plastic zippers
All of them
will try soap

Silicone spray is a pretty good lube and stays put unlike wd40.
