Board bag zippers stuck

I have had that problem. Usually due to when the get wet with the salt water over a period of time and get slightly rusty. I took a small thin screwdriver and put it into the opening of one of the tabs that you use to zip/unzip the bag. I pulled it open just an inch or two.l I then grabbed each side of the open zipper and just pulled outward with my hands. Not sure if will work for you but cannot hurt to try.

 

Guess you're not going anywhere and going to have to stick around for the upcoming swell, darn. HAHA

 

I was just informed that he's got a helicopter on the way to send you relief funds, look for this guy...

 

Instead of pulling on the slider/pull tab, try pushing the teeth back into the slider. Grip the teeth as close as you can to the slider and wiggle them back and forth, one side at a time while holding the slider still. If there's corrosion maybe hot water or vinegar would work.

 

That dirty SOB, In that case, maybe try soaking the rusted area in some CLR or something?

 

Let me guess..metal slider?

In my experience:

Plastic zipper + aluminum (or metal) slider = Stuck zipper

Plastic zipper + plastic slider + big zipper teeth = Loose zipper

 

Same thing happened on my board bag after the first use man I was aggravated a screwdriver worked for me

 

Thanks for the invite dude, hopefully you got some fun ones, not quite there yet though, looks like i'm going to be arriving just as the swell does, can't wait!

 

spray some PB Blaster on the zipper it eats the corrosion
