Canmore Pipe Bag Spare Zipper Lubricant

Description

Genuine Zipper Lubricant Gel as supplied by Canmore Pipe Bags. This is the same tube of lubricant that is supplied with Canmore Pipe Bags.

This is used for lubricating the zip on a Canmore Pipe Bag – which should be done regularly in order to keep the zipper in good condition and the bagpipe bag airtight. If you buy a new Canmore Pipe Bag, a tube of this lubricant is included with the pipe bag. This tube is handy if the original tube of zip lube is expended or lost.

How to use:

1. Open Zip (with bag flat on a table, supporting the end)
2. Place a dab os either end and halfway along the zip
3. Open and close the zip several times, fully supporting the bag with your other hand pressing it to a table.

Tip: It is very important to support the bag while opening and closing the zip. Place the bag flat on a table, one hand to operate the zip, the other to press down firmly on the bag near the end of the zip. See the video below for an example.
