Send a message via AIM to likwid
wash it out then coat it with soap to get the pull moving.

Wash with warm water and then spray olive oil on it.

If it's stuck and it shouldn't be, use WD - 40,

if it moves and it shouldn't, use duct tape.

Exclamation took me awhile to remember
but i think the best product for a plastic zipper is armor all
for plastic.....makes it slicker than ya need it to be...
i'd use compressed air to clean out the salt....
