How to Shorten a Separating Zipper

[@Brookie099]

Definitely one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen! Thank you!

You could put a tiny amount of epoxy glue on the stops made with the zig zag method. The glue sets quite hard and it would prevent the slider from pulling or breaking one of the threads resulting in the stopper unraveling. Epoxy is usually a clear amber color.

Great video. Thanks! I just so happen to have a wood burning tool. I needed to shorten a 26 inch jacket zipper into a 24 inch. This helps tremendously!

I used the zig zags method and it works well! I’m so relieved, it’ll be easy to get zipper now!

Thanks! I need to shorten a nylon #5 coil jacket zipper. Melting will do the trick I believe.

I was so grateful for his sharing the techniques that any breathing does not offend me. It's not professional movie making. They're sharing what they know to help those of us who don't have a clue. I am appreciative & grateful for this effort of sharing his knowledge & experience & giving us the opportunity to watch it being done! Very helpful.
