Lubricate zippers with lip balm

Chapstik (or a similar lip balm) can be used to lubricate zippers to operate smoothly.   I just could not find the 3-in-1 oil so I thought of this.  Any petroleum jelly based lip balm will work fine.   I used a knock off brand lib balm.

  1. No matter how well a lip balm works, a spray lubricant like WD-40 works much better. A week later the zipper froze again and this time I used a spray lubricant instead for comparison. Stick with a spray lubricant and only use lip balm in an emergency.
