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.

The Whitsunday Islands

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
