A.

BDM metal drysuit zip

Before using the drysuit you must close the zip and lubricate it using Northern
Diver Zip Wax (supplied with the drysuit), applying the lubricant to the brass
elements on the outside and the teeth on the inside.
Do not over lubricate the teeth, a light coating is sufficient.
It is important to do this. If not regularly lubricated, the zip may seize up and
possibly fail. If your drysuit is fitted with an anti-magnetic zip, the zip slider is
connected to the pull handle by a special bronze wire. We advise you to lubricate
the zip before every use to prevent the wire from detaching from the slider. If too
much force is applied, which can be caused by lack of lubrication, this can make
the zip difficult to close.
