Can we talk about how long it took me to fix a leaking drysuit zipper on a job site in 40 degree water?

I spent a full 90 minutes wrestling with a corroded zipper pull that should have been a 5 minute fix because I forgot to carry spare dental picks, and now I'm wondering if anyone else has a go-to trick for frozen zippers on old suits.

Oh man, 90 minutes in 40 degree water? That's a special kind of hell. I swear drysuit zippers have a sixth sense for when you're in a rush.

Did you at least get the zipper fully closed before you hit the water?
