The back pack zipper is stuck or out of order. We may face this problem in our life. Fortunately, backpack zipper repair can now be done using items from your household. Check out some common problems you may face and simple solutions to fix your transparent backpack zipper.
One of the most common problems with a zipper is a zipper jam. No matter how hard you pull, your zipper will not move. Fortunately, this problem can usually be solved by using ordinary household products.
Rub the zipper with dish soap or other grease
When the zipper is stuck, you can use grease such as laundry soap. Accumulated dust and debris can be the cause of this problem. Just dilute the soap in water. Then rub the mixture where the zipper sticks, wrap it carefully to release it. If this is not possible, consider washing the entire backpack to see if it can be removed.
Use a graphite pencil
If you still can’t use laundry soap, using a pencil is an effective way to fix your zippers. This method is very convenient because your college book bag may already have a pencil! Similar to the laundry soap method, rub the tip of the pencil up and down over the zipper and the jammed area. When done, try turning the zipper to see if it can be properly compressed.
If your zipper is still stuck, you may have a problem with your teeth. Over time, the zipper teeth bend, which can cause the zipper to jam or prevent toothing. In this case, it makes no sense to apply lubrication. First, you will need to check the area to make sure there are no pieces of fabric on the way. If extra tooth fiber is not a problem, it’s time to have your teeth repaired.
Correct the crooked teeth with pliers
Pliers are usually the best solution for correcting crooked teeth, as they provide enough grip and strength to do the job. Grasp the crooked teeth with pliers and hold them until they return to their original position. Be careful when using pliers, because too much force will pull the tooth completely.
Another common problem you may face is the backpack’s sliding zipper. Sometimes the slider may fall out completely or they may not even bite their teeth. Unfortunately, you may need to replace the entire slider to use the backpack.
Attach a new slider
If the slider is broken and cannot be attached to the teeth properly, you will need to cut out the broken slider and replace it with a new one. The easiest way is to buy a zipper replacement kit to make sure you have all the moving parts to replace the slider. If the kit cannot be purchased, you must take the old slider yourself.
