The zipper on my sunbrella side curtains is hard to slide. Any suggestions for a proper lubricant. The zipper is plastic/vinyl not metal. I assume vasoline petrolium jelly can't hurt.
Thanks,

Silicone lubricate (and candle wax) should work. I would not usually suggest the use of petroleum jelly on petroleum derived products. Of course I do not usually use petroleum jelly and that might make less of an expert.
Go to your grocery store and in the canning supplies pick up a package of parafin . It is used to melt on top of Jellies etc. Just rub it up and down tthe zipper and it will stay on and solve the problem . It also will not soil clothes or other items and works on all types of zippers. The Old Geezer
BJCSC, thanks. The Star Brite lubricant worked great and it appears to work on the snaps as well. It was more expensive than candles ($8.99 at West Marine) but appears to be made specifically for the job at hand.
