How to Fix a Stuck Zipper. Fix a stuck zipper with a few household items. You will need
Tweezers A pencil Bar soap Lip balm Petroleum jelly Olive oil and a cotton swab. Step 1.
Gently tug the lining or garment that is stuck in the zipper. Use tweezers if you cannot
pull it out with your fingers. Do not force the zipper. You may break it and ruin the
garment. Step 2. Rub pencil lead against both sides of the zipper. The graphite will act
as a lubricant. Step 3. Apply bar soap, lip balm, petroleum jelly, or olive oil to the
zipper with a cotton swab. Bar soap can be washed off the easiest, and will not stain
most materials. Step 4. Wiggle the zipper once the product has been applied, working
the product into the teeth of the zipper. Did you know Gideon Sundback invented the
zipper in 1913.
