replacing zippers on a boat cover
need four total, two - 94", two 48"
see that I can order the 94", but how to get the 48" ones??
Hi Tracy,
Marine zippers are easily cut to size. Here is how it is done. You decide the length of the zipper you need. Cut it off, then you lightly melt the cloth tape to keep it from fraying. Then you crimp on a stainless steel zipper stop onto the last tooth of the side of the zipper the slider lives on. This keeps the slider form falling off the zipper. I send you a zipper stop with every zipper I send. That's it, so you just order the size closest to the zipper you need and cut if off.
Thanks for the question and good luck with your project.
