Unstick a zipper

If you have a zipper that is stuck, try rubbing it on both sounds with something that can act as a lubricant for the zipper. You can try using pencil lead (graphite, but this can rub off on your clothes later), a candle, or a bar of soap. Rub both sides of the zipper and this should help free up the zipper if it is stuck.
