Shurhold Snap-Stick Wax Lubricant for Snaps and Zippers, 4.5 Ounce Tube
Shurhold Snap-Stick Wax Lubricant for Snaps and Zippers, 4.5 Ounce Tube
Shurhold Snap-Stick is a water-resistant wax lubricant made to protect and lubricate snaps, zippers, and small hardware exposed to sun, salt, and moisture. Housed in a convenient Chapstick-style tube, it applies with a simple twist-up, dab-on motion, so there is no mess, no spray drift, and no waiting for a liquid to dry before you close up your gear.
Snap-Stick is built for the closures on awnings, canvas covers, boat enclosures, and gear bags. Frozen or stuck snaps and stubborn zippers are a common problem on boats and outdoor gear that sit exposed to the elements, and Snap-Stick is formulated specifically to loosen and protect these fasteners rather than acting as a general-purpose lubricant. Regular use lubricates snaps, zippers, and hinges, helps prevent tearing of the canvas or plastic around a stuck fastener, and fights the corrosion that causes hardware to seize in the first place. A single application lasts up to three months, making it a low-maintenance addition to a boat or RV maintenance routine.
