July 13, 2021Few small things cause as big a headache as sticky snaps and zippers, even when cleaned of dirt and salt. And forcing them can accidentally rip the surrounding fabric, especially if it's old or has shrunk. The solution is to use Snap Stick from Shurhold. Fast and easy to apply, it provides long-lasting lubrication that allows hardware to perform like new.
Made in the USA, Snap Stick is non-toxic and biodegradable, and won't harm fabric or solid surfaces. It's ideal for metal and plastic zippers, snaps, hinges and other small marine hardware.
The solid, wax-like formula applies like lip balm. A twist of the base presents the product. Snap Stick is easy to apply to only the desired area. The user runs it along both sides of a zipper or on the male snap, then opens and closes the hardware several times. One application lasts for three months. A 0.45 oz. tube of Shurhold Snap Stick costs $4.98.
