…of the zipper? Hah ! You little dirty birdy, what in the heck did you THINK I was talking about. Why, shame on you !
I’m trying to replace a zipper that unzips from the bottom up,l all by itself. It seems to slip apart because it lacks that little square hollow catch at the bottom is missing.
How do I deal with this? The brand new replacement zipper has no little square hollow catch thingy. Am I doomed to repeat this problem? Will it ever hold?
I figured it had something to do with putting a head in the beer when I poured it into a glass, but I’ve never really had a problem doing that with other cans. Or bottles, even, which is mostly what we use over her.
The only zippers I’ve seen for sale around here are the “closed” type, where the bottom of the zipper is permanently joined, or the “open” type, where the “off side”* has a “capture bucket”*.
I can’t really help.
Did you buy a patch section or something?

Now, the “magic widget” in a can (and now bottle) of Guinness puts a very fine head on the beer. Oh, certainly, you can get a head whenever you pour your average beer into a stein, but if you want the pub-quality foamy creamy head that is unique to Guinness (and I deny any imitators) then you want the magic widget.
Google on ‘guinness widget’ for all the information you would ever want to know.
It should work if you just sew it in while it’s zipped up and then stitch the bottom of it closed like a madman. Back and forth, back and forth. It won’t last as long as the brass stopper, but it should do the trick.
