The Office Staple That Can Fix A Stuck Zipper In A Pinch
By JACQUELINE DELIBES
If the fabric isn't trapped in the zipper or the teeth aren't deformed, try grabbing a pencil and utilizing its eraser to help unstick those
zipper teeth in a flash.
Pass the eraser back and forth a few times to ensure it unsticks. Erasers are made with vegetable oil to prevent ripping papers; this lubricating quality helps loosen zipper teeth.
Erasers also contain abrasives meant to disrupt pencil marks,
and those work to move around micro amounts of grime or buildup that can accumulate on zippers.
