My snaps seemed to be getting a little harder so I started to look for lube. A light bulb went off, what is primarily needed is wax. I reached into my pocket pulled out chap stick right size to go over the snap, no mess and really easy to apply and available everywhere.
I grew up working on boats as a kid. We used chap stick on the Bimini tops all the time. That was the first thing I did when I got mine was grease up all the snaps with it.
used it last week!.... great tip!
hmmm, I'll try it. What flavor mint the snaps prefer..
And if your lips get chapped you can find relief by kissing your snaps. (If you do that where you can be seen by others at the campground you'll be treated to lots of privacy as the observers will no doubt keep their distance).
PEI that is the greatest tip ever to keep people away!
