    Looking for advice for a product to lubricate zippers that hold my fly bridge enclosure panels. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. PJ 61

    Probably because it’s Saturday and the guys haven’t read the post yet. It would be nice if they didn’t.

    I just did my aft deck enclosure. The Star Brite brand of zipper-lube from West Marine works well, but next time I am going to try Vaseline. To do all of my zippers on my aft deck used up a whole tube of the Star Brite stuff. The tubes are pretty small.
