As anyone had a barrow bag zips corroded off is it a known problem. I've had a Presteige barrow food bag a few years now but I've never seen the zips turn green and corrode before on any bag surely they can't be age limited anyone else experienced this

I have a daiwa rucksack that had a similar thing although I think I put it away damp. A healthy smear of silicone grease sorted things out.

I live by the coast and this has happened to my aqua and avid bag zips..
Just needed a good clean to get them back to how they should be

its worth putting beeswax or a dedicated zipper cleaner on them. I use zip slip from B&Q its around £10 and keeps the zips in better condition than new

Since mid 70's I have just rubbed a candle up and down zips to keep them in good order especially if they are sticking etc. I always have one in my tackle bag oddly enough.

if you use a "Wet Lube" etc to protect the zip, it will just attract dust and dirt etc and clog the zip up making things worse.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
