Backyard Shed for BX Tractor

[oldballs]

Wouldn't having a CAT: tractor: be an overkill for a tiny weenie mouse?? but will get the zipper lubed. Thanks y'all.

Hope the OP gets back to his shed discussion.

Cheers,
Mike

I lube my zippers with candle wax. Even the zippers on my jeans.

Careful... are you starting with a lit candle? :shocked:

The candle is NOT lit.:laughing:

Canning wax will work just as good. Close the zipper and scrub the wax up and down a couple of times. That is all there is to it.

That's a great trick for the zippers - I've quieted a few cranky ones on old jackets using a bit of wax. I also keep a candle in my electric drill toolbox. A swipe of wax on the threads of a long wood screw or lag bolt really reduces the effort of driving it in. Also makes removing, rather than shearing it off, a much more likely outcome.

The zippers on the canvas on my boat get the same treatment. If it wasn't for the risk of burning the marina down (covered slip) I would light the candle first.

I use an old bar of soap for lag screws.

I use bar soap for belt dressing on my heep when I am too cheap to change the belts. It stops them from squealing.
