    I love the fact that you get right to the point! Some UA-camrs have the gift of gab and they take way too long to explain something wasting everyone’s time. LOL? 😁

      Same with recipe sites; however, I think enough comedians got on their case that they finally put a skip to recipe button right at the beginning, so we don't have to read about how X season reminds you of Y relative's Z recipe...

    The remark you made about only applying pressure to the bottom zipper Was just what I needed. I watched another tutorial before yours. And I was confused what I was doing wrong. You put me on the right path, thank you.

    I followed your tutorial and it worked well but after a few weeks I had to do it again. This time I used “DRY TEFLON LUBE”, and applied it sparingly to the zipper! It worked perfectly and made the slider close very easily and smoothly! You can pick up this Lube at your favorite Hardware Store or Bicycle Shop. I hope my suggestion helps!

    I'm extremely technically challenged ;-), so I'm amazed it finally worked for me! We'll see for how long... Since my zipper was on a wallet I didn't care about all that much and was pissing me off, I also applied some vegetable oil to the teeth, as suggested in the comments. Pulling the zipper to the beginning, as somebody said in the comments seemed to help eventually. It didn't work when I was squeezing in the middle and I was about to give up. Sick and tired of Chinese crap...
    Thank you and everybody else in the comments who shared their experience and also gave helpful tips! 🙂

    I’m so surprised and relieved this worked. I used this on my jansport backpack because one of the zippers had derailed, I used a flat head screwdriver to force the rail back into the zipper but then it started opening both sides when zipping it. But I was relieved when I did exactly as the woman said and now I got my backpack working again!
