What is the best way to get salt-encrusted corrosion out of a sailing top zip? Soaking in hot water and dry lube have failed....

Vinegar can sometimes help, depends on the zip type.

I have heard that diet works best because the sugar actually inhibits the acid in full fat coke.

in that case you may as well just make up a solution of acetic or phosphoric acid and soda stream them |

Just as an antidote to all that serious sh!t going on in the dinghy dev forum I wondered if anybody else thought this thread title sounded like the name of a fronter town in a dodgy western?
