Making separating zippers from by the foot coil?

[Monte Masterson]

I want a long #3 water resistant zipper for a project I’m working on and I can’t find anything over 46″ online. Is it possible to find the metal components to make your own separating zippers or does the whole process involve special equipment that a DIY’er can’t do at home?

This is a non waterproof #3 separating coil from ZPacks. Is it possible for the layman to attach metal end pieces to by the foot coil? If so where can you find the parts?

probably not what you want but that’s another source.  I’ve never bought from them

I just looked on Questoutfitters website and they say you can’t make separating zippers from continuous coil. I checked out all of zippershipper’s stock earlier and they don’t really have anything that would work.
