Talking Snap 'lubricating'....
Got an e-mail from our marina. Thought I would post it... Kinda interesting, I'm gonna have to try it!

CHIP'S TIP FOR THE WEEK OF 08/09/2009

From the service center

To keep your canvas snaps lubricated and working easily,just dab a little chapstick on each snap once a week.




Happy Boating

Chip Niemcewicz
Service Manager.


Weird...

    Sure wish I had that idea before I spent the $7.00 for the snap lub at the boat store, oh well, maybe next year.

    A stick of paraffin wax works too (we use it on our camping gear)

    I've heard a bar of soap works as well. Never tried any of them, never felt the need.
