I am looking for advice on metal zippers. I am working with a silk dress from the 1940s. The silk is somewhat fragile and the 2 metal zippers are very stiff. I am afraid that I will rip the silk in my attempt to use the zippers. Does anyone know of an inert substance I could use to lubricate the zippers? I thought about not using them at all, but I would need another method of closing the opening and I don't want to introduce more holes to the silk by stitching it closed. If anyone has an alternative to using the zippers I would be interested to hear it.
Thank you,
Jennifer
