Some years ago I posted about always carrying "Shoo Goo" as it has so many cute uses around camp.
On our recent Gibb River trip we were going for a walk up Tunnel crk the next day so I dragged out shoe goo
and touched up the soles of my water walking sandals and with a few minutes my friends produced another 4 pairs needing a fix !

I was going to say that everybody should carry their own favourites as I quickly ran out.

However No ! but as we drove up the increasingly dusty road we began to have another issue.

The zips on out soft floor camper and even our fox wing became so hard to use that we virtually had to give up and tie things down.

At first you would think this is easy to fix with a bit of WD40 or similar but its not at all.
In fact WD40 could make things worse.

Special waxes and compounds were suggested to us at camping shops but in the end I applied WD40 dry PTFE to closed zips and it really was a miracle cure as further dust would not stick.
One reason this worked is that it could be sprayed upwards (overhead).


The effect was really quite amazing and soon we had others coming up with similar issues.
Ladies shoe zips, camper trailer swing down stands , various squeaks etc.

If you have come up with any cute tips recently , let us know !
