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 Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
