| [title] INFO: Zipper top stops | |
| [* icon_note] Top stops prevent the slider from coming off the zipper track. There are three types of top stops: | |
| [* black] ***Coil top stops*** are metal pieces shaped like a claw with three prongs (2 on one side and 1 on the other). They're applied by puncturing through the zipper tape and wrapping the prongs into the coil. | |
| [* icon_note] A single hand stitch can also be used as a stop for a coil zipper. | |
| - | [* black] ***Plastic tooth (Vislon®) top stops*** are colored metal pieces shaped like a hot dog bun. They clamp onto a toothless area of the zipper tape |
| + | [* black] ***Plastic tooth (Vislon®) top stops*** are colored metal pieces shaped like a hot dog bun. They clamp onto a toothless area of the zipper tape. |
| [* icon_caution] These top stops don't prevent plastic tooth sliders size 5 and larger from sliding off the tape. Use metal top stops instead. | |
| [* black] ***Metal top stops*** are metal piece shaped like a small "c." They clamp onto a toothless area of a metal or plastic tooth zipper tape. | |
| [* black] Despite the name, top stops can be placed on other locations of the zipper track, not just the top. |
