Stuck zippers on wetsuit - try Liquid Wrench Super Penetrant

[weltwindsand]

I recently had a stuck plastic teeth zipper on a warm weather wetsuit that had been in storage for almost a year. The zipper had a stainless steel slider. I tried all of the remedies suggested in old posts, such as vinegar, warm water soak, and other more exotic ones such as 'Salt Away'. None worked, and after a couple of weeks I was ready to give up on it and order a new wetsuit. As a last resort, I tried Liquid Wrench Super Penetrant, and it worked instantaneously. Wetsuit saved.

I'm glad it worked for you but I would be worried about what it might eventually do to the neoprene. I just rub a little silicone grease on my zippers with my fingers about once a year and never have a problem.
