Episode 4: Looking after your TiZip.

Ep 4, Packrafting for beginners: Looking after your TiZip.
In this episode we look are the care and maintenance of your TiZip. TiZips are used in the @AlpackaRaft Cargo fly's and the @mrspackraft4341 Internal Storage systems. They are option to allow you to store gear inside your packraft but they need to be looked after.
Having access to the inside of your packraft allows you to carry gear when packrafting inside, gives the packraft a better trim, keeps your gear dry and makes it more accessible to fix punctures on your packraft
Packraft used in this video is the MRS Microraft.

Looking after your TiZip:
Storage
Make sure to close TIZIP® zippers completely and taking care not to bend it for purposes of storage.
The storage in an opened position for long period will cause zipper bending. If this occurs, slight leaks are possible. Keep the zippers clean and dry at all times.
Avoid storing the zippers in excessively hot and humid environments.
Proceed according to the FIFO (First In, First Out) method, whereby zippers are used in the same chronological order they were bought.
Cleaning
It's recommend to use a fine brush, as well as a mild detergent and water to clean the TIZIP® zippers.
Do not use solvents or abrasives, as doing so may compromise their functionality.
Any debris that is caught between the teeth or coils of our zippers can have a negative impact on the sealing lip and thereby limit their sealing performance.
Maintenance
If lubrication is necessary, make sure to use the original TIZIP® lubricant or a comparable product.
Please also make sure to clean the zippers before undertaking to lubricate them.
Proper lubrication prior to use is crucial to the proper functioning of all TIZIP® zippers that require lubrication.
A package of lubricant is included depending on the zipper version in question.

Zips failing can be such a pain!

[@simonmoore7316]

Hi Martin. Any idea where I can get my TiZips professionally removed as they have degraded in the way you have described, I would rather not have them as I never use them. Thanks

It this zip worth it?? Is seems to create a very weak point and possibly shorten the life of the raft
