With Snap Stick, zippers and snaps work smoother

Snap and Zipper Lubricant

Aug 10, 2022

Words of exasperation wafting across a marina often signal a boat owner fighting with a jammed zipper or snap that won’t catch. This frustrating situation is simple to avoid by using Snap Stick from Shurhold. Made in the USA, the easy-to-apply lubricant keeps marine fittings working smoothly for up to three months and reduces stress levels around the docks.

A unique, wax-like formula, Snap Stick lubricates and protects plastic and metal snaps, zippers, hinges and other small hardware from the effects of harsh marine environment exposure. Unscented, non-toxic and biodegradable, it won’t harm fabrics and other boat surfaces. Non-soluble, it doesn’t rinse off when exposed to rain and spray, or boat washing.

Unlike aerosols and gels, Snap Stick goes only where it’s dabbed. It works like lip balm: twist the base for the exact amount of product needed. After applying on the male side of a snap or along both sides of a zipper, operating the hardware a few times works the lubricant into the components.

Just when you thought you might never see the Galley Guys again, there they were waving from the flying bridge of a Le Boat Horizon 3 gliding down the Trent Severn Waterway (TSW) in the sun. Glorious!

In the past the Galley Guys have travelled far and wide to great locations to explore the good life on a boat. However, this year we stayed in our own backyard for a real treat; cruising The Trent Severn Waterway.
