Cutting down a longer zipper
by: Tammy

I assume your referring to the EZ-Xtend zipper.
For that matter this would apply to any zipper that is a separating zipper.

A separating zipper is a zipper that comes complete unzipped from one another and has a retaining box (female) at the top of one half of the zipper and Pin (male) at the top of the other half.
These two pieces mate in order to start zipping your zipper.
You can force start a zipper together without them, but you will not have a securely locked end to your zipper.

The risk that the wind could blow your canvas open of off is strong.

It’s not something I recommend. So the answer is no, one zipper per zipper is recommended.
