The consigning castle is the first cause of the death of things on zipper. This often occurs with boots, jackets and backpacks, and after vain attempts to correct the situation, we have to give up your favorite things. Fortunately, the "medicine" from this misfortune appeared on the Internet, because recently in Instagram, the shoemaker showed how it can easily and simply repair the diverging lightning, and there is only a couple of movements.
For example, the Master took a typical lightning boot
The London Workshop on the repair of shoes Original Cobblers Ltd recently shared a video in which the shoemaker described in detail in detail, and most importantly showed how to fix one of the most common problems with zippers.
A familiar problem, the runner goes with difficulty, but zipper still does not fasten
This is due to the runner, the parallel plates of which over time are squeezed and stop compressing the teeth enough to stick zipper.
For this, the method will need to put something hard for the runner. For example, a shoemaker used a special metal rack for this to repair
But this can be anything, if only it could withstand a hammer blow.
You will need pliers
Most likely you have already tried to correct the zipper with the help of pliers, clinging first one side of the slider first, and then another. This is a fairly common method that has several negative points. First, when squeezing one end, the second is simply squeezed, secondly, the central transverse plate of the runner is loosened, which leads to the fact that the slider simply falls apart into two parts. If you are accustomed to repairing lightning in this way, then you know what we are talking about.
To hold the slider and save it in integrity, you need to simultaneously put the finishes of the pliers on both edges of the runner
After that, it remains only to hit the hammer at the ends of the pliers, thereby holding both edges of the slider at the same time
"In 90% of cases, you will not need a new zipper if its teeth are in order," says the shoemaker in the video.
