Yeah I was just about to say, maybe WD-40 them regularly2 tubs of bearing grease should fix it.![]()
I remember graphite pencils work for the same thing2 tubs of bearing grease should fix it.![]()
Yep, that or graphite powder used to be the go with the old metal zips. I guess it would work on the nylon ones but because i've never had to address a nylon one yet, i dunno.I remember graphite pencils work for the same thing
If you don't mind me asking, what are you studying?Doing my thing in uni accommodation lol. No-one knows I smoke let alone have somewhere between one and three tents going in my walk in closet at all times lol.
No lie, I got real excited when I found out we look into light spectrums effect on cellular metabolism of common bacteria and fungi in our lab prac classes for culture medium techniques.If you don't mind me asking, what are you studying?
Try lanolin mate I get it in a spray can and use it for my tent zipper.Thanks for the input guys.
The room my tents are in is at the back corner of my yard with three other neighbors, and it is very quiet.
Two of the neighbors could be within earshot without me knowing and am just a bit paranoid about them hearing the zips, which I would use at least once a day. Maybe I am a bit paranoid, but one of them in particular is really sanctimonious and being retired is always at home and pottering around in his yard.
I might test some bees wax instead of the bearing grease, and some graphite powder to see how they go. WD-40 is lower on the list, but I wont rule it out yet.
Cheers
For sure. I'm not complaining though haha. They had a sale on kogan a while back and I got two greenfingers 90x50s for $45 each, a 80x80x160 for $55 and a certa 60x60 for $20.Yeah I’ve got a cheap vivosun tent. Guess it’s what we pay for
Yeh right okay.I've got a few tents here and I've noticed the 1680 fabric dulls the zipper noise a bit too. All the 600d tents are loud due to the vibration.
Luckily on two of the tents (glasshaus) if I hold my finger on the back of the zipper body while moving it dulls the vibration and it's almost silent, but the cheaper 600d greenfingers tents make a racket with the thinner, more brittle fabric.
