    My brother worked for Carefree Boat Club for a bit and said he couldn't believe they were allowed to use that sh1t around the water...

    I used to wonder the same thing...crazy what a small amount will do to, take rust stains right off. If you breath deep too close you can feel a weird shock in your lungs.

    If nothing else works call Bretanna. Have her grip the zipper with her butt cheeks and pull. It will work for sure

    You could ask Wayne to pray for it to open but that may take three days.

    First rinse with warm water to dissolve most of the salt, then try white vinegar to clean up and dissolve other minerals jamming the zipper. the vinegar is used in plumbing to clean out "on demand" water heaters on the inside--perhaps it will help here as well.
    You are welcome.

    As always I can count on you'se guys for some genuine good ideas, and some laughs. No whale jizz was used but I did try some vinegar, and I guess that worked because after a few hours I tried it and was able to wrench it open with the help of some pliers. So we're all good, $100 board bag salvaged. And yeah, it felt great to paddle out today. Lower back injury is what did me in for all that time. Take care of your backs boys. ClemsonSurf, very clever you are to see the Civil War reference in my username. I'll say this, I have southern sympathies but am glad the North won

    Hahahah, glad to see you're keeping a positive stoke around here brad! Most of these guys would've just closed their account and created a new username after that thread.
