snap cover problem

[bow slayer]

what should I use to lube the snaps on my boat cover. I just took the cover off for the first time and some of the snaps were dam near impossible to snap off. I was thinking using lithium white grease. thanks

A little dab of vaseline on each tab and your good to go for the whole summer.

 

You'll be surprised what a difference it'll make.

Good idea, I'll have to tell my brother, he's having the same problem.

You can also get a little gadget for popping the snap off. I think either BPS or Cabelas has it.

The vaseline does work. One person told me to use Chapstick or similar for the domes & zippers on my cover. Easy to store and you can use it in case you get chapped lips!! Not sure which flavour would work best LOL

A wax candle rubbed on both pieces will go a long way and will not attract dust and sand.

Are you sure they are not "ONE Way Snaps" which would only come off one way easily. To check look inside the snap and see if there is a flat spot.
