| + | [title] Positioning a Vise Grip to Repair a Zipper |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] With the vise grip in the locked position: use the screw adjustment at the back to close on the zipper slider. (Make sure you're clamping just the zipper slider and NOT the zipper pulls or fabric.) |
| + | [* black] Remove the vise grip and tighten it ever so slightly: a 1/16th or 1/8th of a turn should be enough: you're trying to apply the slightest pressure to both sides of the zipper slider when you re-apply it. |
| + | [* black] Return the vise grip to the proper position on the zipper slider and clamp down: this time, the vise grip should lock just a little as you clamp down. Clamp the zipper slider on BOTH sides with the same setting before changing anything. |
| + | [* black] It might take a few tries with successively tighter settings on the vise grip but eventually the zipper will start zipping properly again. |
