Found a simple trick for getting wetsuit zippers unstuck fast

I kept fighting with salt-crusted zippers on my wetsuit after shallow dives in the Keys. Tried rinsing with freshwater but that didn't cut it. Rubbing a candle along the zipper teeth before each dive works way better. Anyone else use something different for this?

I tried the candle trick too and it definitely helps but I found that spraying a little silicone lubricant on the teeth after the dive works even BETTER for me. It keeps things sliding smooth even after a full day of saltwater and sand. Just make sure you wipe off any excess so it doesn't get all over your gear bag.
