Thread rot on marine zippers
by: Tammy

Hi Jerry,
There are fabric glues and you might be able to get it to work but not for long, not to mention the mess. I don’t recommend it! The thread should be addressed with new thread and the thread needs to be polyester 138 if possible, 92 if not or PTFE thread which lasts the life of the canvas.
Hope this helps despite not being the easiest of solutions.
